I stopped by a week or so ago and spoke with a few members. They were not real excited about the FFA rig and had not accepted it yet because of some problems that the Capt. wasn't real happy with.
Interesting, what are they doing with the inflatable raft on the top of Rescue 1?
Trav!

It's a 23 Mile Long Island.... Surrounded by water. Many members of Rescue 1 have medals for water rescues... but i dont think many were done or supported by the "boat". Most were dives near piers and recovered with ladders. The do get fast support from TAC 1 and Marine 1 and 1 ALPHA.
Does anyone have 34 Engine with the boat over the hose bed cover, while Rescue was running from W.38th St???

So did they just do away with it altogether or move it to another unit?
Thanks for the quick response, it kind of looks funny WITHOUT the boat... that thing has been on there forever it seems.
I believe the raft is used in the event of water rescues.

Sorry I should have been more specific in my question, I actually meant what is being done with the boat if it's not on top of Rescue 1? Then, the more I got to looking, it IS on there, just not inflated, which I'm not used to seeing.

Yea Mikey... Back when Rescue 1 lost their house in the 10 Alarmer, they were in 34's quarters on W38th. That was back when I made my 1st Trip to the City...
