Where did you see the MTA 'rescue,' on the Ferarra site?
[quote name='anesti' post='169444' date='Dec 7 2007, 00:32 ']its under the contract page[/quote]
just so there is no confusion, it is listed as NYC Transit. not MTA Police. Just wondering what transit will use it for, maybe as a command post, as I do not think they have one now?
Went to check the progress of this unit and found that it is completed. Here is a link, you may have to scroll down and find NYPD. Lists the specs on the right hand side. Doesn't look like a ESU Big Truck, but who knows, does appear to follow the design of a Haz-Mat unit.
Its interesting that NYPD didnt have the Mass Decon unit lettered & striped at the factory....I'm not sure if it was on this board or another but I saw the NYPD has a Pierce air unit? I cant find the pic, and Im too lazy to go back through 20 pages of pics...
alright can someone explaing all these crazy light bar devices that seem to be attached to all of the non patrol vehicles...they have atleast 10 auxiliary spotlight white and colored what are they for?
Also why does nypd still use rotary red and white triangle shaped light bars?

The "device", as you call it, is known as a [url="http://www.mcdermottlight.com/catalog/vehicle_lights_LED_multilevel.htm"]McDermott High Riser[/url] bar. In it's resting (mobile) state, the two arms cross across the roof. When activated, its two arms uncross and, as a result, the arms stand up (I believe about 4' or so). This provides longer range warning, making the vehicle visible for longer distances.
As for the V bars, to my knowledge, NYPD has transitioned over to the [url="http://www.fedsig.com/industry_solutions/fire_ems/fire_ems_news/archives/pdf/Update133.pdf"]Solaris[/url] (a Federal Signal brand name for one of their LED styles) version of the [url="http://www.fedsig.com/products/index.php?id=239"]Premium Vision[/url] ([url="http://www.fedsig.com/products/index.php?id=139"]Vision SL[/url], I believe it's called).
