[quote name='JFong' post='289706' date='Mar 14 2009, 20:30 ']I saw some new MARC boats quartered with the BFU Units on Staten Island. Can anyone shed more light about the the MARC Boats?[/quote]
i think they can be used on small ponds,lakes,and when there is sever street flooding in staten island
This rig contains decontamination showers and is quartered with Engine 251 in Queens, available via special call. There are 5 of these rigs w/FDNY,onein each borough.
one is an intake, the one on the drivers side is a discharge.
also there are only 3 of the 2006 MR/Ferrara decon units. they are at E4, E160 and E251. the other 2 decon units are Freightliner/ACSI tractor trailer units.
That's not gonna float real well. But,according to a lot of people,if ANYBODY can do it.................................. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

92 Engine just got theirs last Wednesday. We had to stop by 92/44 this morning for some spare SCBA cylinders and were able to check out 92's new rig. Not bad at all.
As for 43 Engine. Went to a job today on Clinton Place, and 43 was there, already using a spare. They said they've been experiencing some problemes with the new rig...........Nothing but the best!!!!!! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

This looks like the Mack CF TL that served in West Islip NY, Deer Park, NY, and I believe originally Wantagh, NY. All 3 departments are on Long Island.

Metropolitan is a group of Explorers on Staten Island. Unless they got a new TL this was Princeton, NJ's old Tower. The rig is owned by a former FDNY Dispatcher who helps the kids in the group by driving the rig. He also make the rig(s) advalible for TV, Movies and Ad work. THis gives the group money for operating.
