1.2 mil for a sand truck. What does that do at a fire?

1.5 mil for a tanker or is there more than one. Seems high for 1 unit.

Its a foam tanker, which does require some additional items beyond a regular water tanker. But yes that's high, I would think its double the price.

Its probably a replacement for E329's ATRV

These are for multiple units, I believe there will be 4 new no frills foam tankers and more than one ATRV.

Great how I can read about new rigs here and not at work where they will actually be used.

Love all the "toys".......

Now can we get some functional front line apparatus that spends more time in service than out?

You and all the unlucky companies with the Ferrara reamounts. They're junk, poorly built junk.

In 2014 it's hard to find any manufacturer that can fit that bill. The more electronic rigmarole they add, the less we get to actually use the rigs.

Do you mean command tactical unit (CTU) or tactical support unit (TSU)? The only TCUs I've ever heard about with the FDNY are the tactical control unit in Report from engine co.82.

$1.6 million for a fire marshall unit? what on earth is that?

Sorry-meant to say FDNY TSU units

$1.6 million for a fire marshall unit? what on earth is that?

It's a much needed new fire scene unit for the Marshals. Multiple features that the Fire Marshals of the FDNY need for the examination and collection of evidence at fire scenes, photography, communication capabilities, etc. They currently fulfill this role with an old ambulance body unit that needs to be replaced.
