We're discussing New Nassau Police Hazmat Truck 2427
figures...
Sterling is a ford on steroids..
no problems with the other sterling trucks?...is one of the new sterlings the big tow/wrecker?
now if we call for Hazmat..are we getting Hazmat 3...and this?
ESU has been involved in Haz-Mat since the early 80's so this truck, while it might be a new vehicle, it is nothing new to our response. It was purchased to replace a 1985 Ford F650 with a Hackney beverage body.
The way the response for Haz-Mat was originally supposed to work is................Fixed Facilities and Explosives are the responsibility of the Fire Marshals, Environmental Crimes, (well any crime for that matter, WMD's etc. ) and transportation incidents are supposed to be the responsibility of ESU.
This truck allows us to consolidate what was once on the old beverage truck as well as what was carried on an old Ford Econoline van into one unit. It also has a small command center in the back as well.
The other 2 Sterlings replaced two tow trucks that were from 1992 Our flatbed and a 16 ton wrecker.
We have 2 large tows, one is a 1979 Autocar with a 40 ton crane the other is a 1992 Ford LTL9000 with a 50 ton crane.
Are Nassau Police Haz-Mat and Nassau FM Haz-Mat on the same page when it comes to things such as ... um, let's say ... meters? 5 Star, VOC 2000, etc. Figure you'd probably be working side by side when something legit goes down.
Well I know the Dept's In Nassau Are squared away HA...Most have 3 "auto injector kits" EXPIRED and lets not forget the free-o Cold war era dosimiters and meters they found in the basement of some fallout shelter that Souzzi heard about and said "lets hand em out to our 1st Responders"
FUNNY THIS TOPIC JUST CAME UP AND LOOK WHATS ON FIREHOUSE.COM
Oct. 4--The state Homeland Security office is recalling more than 35,000 gas masks it shipped to counties statewide because they don't meet federal standards for protection in chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear disasters, according to state and county officials.
In a program that began about a month ago in Nassau and last week in Suffolk, the state asked the counties to retrieve the masks that were distributed several years ago to police, firefighters, ambulance crews and other first responders. For each mask returned, the state will provide a new air respirator that meets federal guidelines.
More than 5,000 respirators are to be exchanged in Nassau and about 10,000 in Suffolk, county officials said.
