This is a 2014 rig. What did it run as before Field Com 1?

It's always been Field Com 1. Built in 2014, delivered in 2015, will go into service (if not already) in 2016.

Who staffs the Field Com Units? Fire Alarm Dispatchers?

It is staffed with dispatchers (2, I think) and firemen and officers. 

[trauma74 111]

That sounds like it could be a cool division to work in.

Where are the Field Comm Units located around the City?

I like thier Patch

[lt411 145]

there is one Field Comm unit for FDNY,and in the past it was staffed by one dispatcher and one lieutenant. The officer reports to the command post and relays any orders/updates to the dispatcher in the Field Comm unit for further action.

also Field comm battalion may ride in the Field comm

Politically correct patch...no more Indians sending smoke signals

[N1Medic 69]

At least they'll use it! Unlike WCDES!

At first look I this rig definitely looks like a rescue or hazmat unit.  It's a great looking rig, and a nice improvement for the FDNY.  Congrats!

It's on certain departments box alarms, but we've been told even if we request it, it will be denied. 

 

Its a great show piece for PR events though
