eng 508 at the kingsbridge armory,it had a line strecthed but not charged at first i thought it was a drill site but there were are other fd units so i fiqure its either involved in some kind of a movie since there were alot of production trucks around the armory.
Went over to the FDNY Training Academy for a meeting with some of the bosses in Haz Mat yesterday. Some of our guys had never been there so I guess when one of the Captains saw them drooling he decided to give a tour. First unit is one of two new mobile decon units under going tests before they are placed in service.
Inside view of the showers. Unlike other units where the person has to walk thru from rinse, to soap, to final rinse, this system is programmed to have the person stand in one location and the shower changes the settings automatically.
