Tactical Support Units support the Rescue & Squad companies and assist them with operations. During Fires the TSU Firefighter Teams up with Rescue Battalion and his aide and form a team, called Rescue Ops Division.

Awesome Video on TSU 1 love your Fleet Vehicles Videos Skyler learn something new on FDNY fleet.
Nice fleet Friday video of the FDNY Tactical Support Unit 1!👍🏻
thanks to the firefighters who took their time to show us all this cool stuff.
Skyler, Another great video. TSUs keep getting bigger! Some of the old TSUs were Ford F-350s 4x4 with a Reading body, no crane. That was is the late '80s. Had a ramp on the top, had to manually pull the boat down & put the motor on, every time it was used. This rig beats that hands down. Medium Rescue!!! Have to be able to bring all the toys that can't fit on the Heavy Rescues LOL! On the street or in the water, this is the truck to have. The "Fleet Fridays" keep getting better!!! Thanks Skyler👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 One question, is the Marine Support Unit, a mirror, to the TSUs?
That thing is awesome. Great video.
What an Awesome Rig! Thanks Skyler for another Fantastic Edition of Fleet Friday! I've seen all your Fleet Fridays and Really enjoy seeing the different rigs and what they carry! Keep up the Great work and looking forward to future fleet Fridays!👍👏
Skyler, I really enjoy your Fleet Friday videos! Thank you for sharing and thanks to the FDNY for allowing you to showcase their units. Keep up the good work!
What a cool unit. Thanks for a great tour!
Another great video Skyler. The rescue division only a small part of past FDNY presence on Roosevelt island. Before the advent of the “rock” the division of training operated there in the 60s. They called it”welfare island “ in those days. The training center occupied that current property and all tha property that is now a parking garage. It was the first thing on the right as you exited the bridge from Ravenswood Queens .
Bless Really enjoying these Friday videos. Salute the FDNY for helping you. Thanks 😊
Nice video of a unit that is critical,and from reading the news out here in Colorado,this particular special unit unfortunately has been very busy in NYC so far this year.Excellent job, Skyler for explaining the features of this unit.
