What are those little light rescue trucks? Like the one following behind BAT32 at 6:45? Some sort of medical support unit? Also was Richmond Hose Company on this box? They are a stones throw from New Dorp Beach so it wouldn't make sense to not include them unless they were already on another call.
Looks like they’re FDNY Paramedic Response Units, think mini FDNY EMS. They’re EMT-P certified so they’re a step ahead of regular EMS iirc but they fly around in converted Chevy pickups lol. From what I heard though Richmond Engine was on scene at that call
@@the1redcaptain Ahh so they are what LACoFD would call Squads then, non-transport ALS units. Surprised the FDNY even has need for those given how big their EMS division is, but I suppose there are times when they have to rely on 3rd party EMT manned buses and need ALS on the scene in some form or another. And good! When I found out NYC still had volunteer agencies, I was entirely surprised but in the months since I've read up on their contributions to the city, especially on 9/11. I'm glad the FDNY appreciates them and feels the need to keep them around.
@@Stargazzer811 Yah, the FDNY’s policy with the PRUs has actually been pretty unpopular, because they’ve been slimming down on full size EMS units in favor of PRUs. They’re not necessarily bad, but I feel like having ambos with more carrying capacity and more facilities overall would be a smarter idea. Then again, the PRUs are actually surprisingly nimble and can navigate super tight roads, especially deep in the city. They’re usually more available than their full size EMS counterparts, too And yeah, it’s actually pretty neat that the city keeps volunteer departments around. There’s two on Staten Island that I’m aware of, Richmond Engine and Oceanic Hook & Ladder, but they’re sprinkled across the five boroughs. I believe our VFD units in Staten Island predate the FDNY pretty significantly though. They get the job done, and the VFDs on the island are used all the time
Fdny your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks to everyone who responds keep them safe out there job well done you should be proud appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe
Nothing compared. The FDNY deployed over 100 ambulances, 121 engine companies, 62 ladder companies, 4 division chiefs, 23 battalion chiefs, deputy chiefs, etc, its only HazMat unit, its 5 rescue units, its 2 height units, its mobile command center, 6 squads, one support unit tactical, 3 satellites, its field communications unit, its mask service units, its collapse rescue units, its RAC and TAC units, Thawing Units, EMS Supervisor, EMS Chiefs. The FDNY requested mutual aid from Westchester County and Nassau. Hundreds of NYPD and PAPD officers responded to 9/11. Lots of private ambulances.

It's a special fire when the black SUV arrive code 3.
Spectacular video the fdny trucks units and ambulance incredible video❤
Thanks
So no one has to pull over and wait until the units pass in NY ?
They do, but most people are jerks and make the vehicles stand in traffic and use their air horn like its no tommorow!
Wow... you can see all of the Brooklyn units helping out. Also, so many chiefs int the unmarked SUVs.
Truck 78 still had mothballs flying off of it!
This video is awesome 🎉
I could feel the rumbler siren just watching this video
Seeing that in person you'd think a plane went down somewhere
Damn it looked like a 9/11 response. Great catch what were all those black suvs responding ?

What are all the black unmarked suvs
I Believe They are Fire Cheifs And Assistant Cheifs
