Nicely caught - I like HazMat Co.1's rigs! =D How often on average do they respond? What would be the chance of them getting a call if I were to go there for an hour or more?
@Paul2424 buff.... in fire engineering, the heaviest rig always goes first. The hazmat is significantly larger and heavier. But I’d imagine that they’re housed in the order that they are because the engine leaves more frequently than the haz-mat... the haz-mat may respond along with that engine to all hazmat calls in their response area as well
I'm guessing it had something to do with a chemical or something else possibly poisonous that caused the difficulty breathing, causing Hazmat to be dispatched.
Go to Google and type in FDNY Runs and Workers. You can find all the numbers there for numerous years. For 2020, HazMat 1 went on 735 runs for 678 emergencies and 57 fires.
One company, two trucks. Hazmat 1 is staffed by an officer and seven firefighters (four Haz-Mat Specialist, three Haz-Mat Technician II) on each tour. Riding positions besides the officer are Entry 1 and 2, Backup 1 and 2, Decon 1 and 2, and Resource. The primary truck (tandem axle) responds with the officer, Backup 1 (as the driver), Resource, Entry 1 and 2, and Decon 1 firefighters. The second piece responds with Backup 2 (as the driver) and Decon 2 firefighters. The FDNY Operational Reference gives a general list of the equipment carried by Hazmat 1, but does not specify which equipment goes on which truck. There are many other trucks dedicated to Hazmat functions in the FDNY fleet besides Hazmat 1; all are listed here fire.wikia.com/wiki/New_York_City_Fire_Department
yeah you can't Take HM1 out to a Diffculty Breathing... it's not Possible unless if it was a Hazardous Materials Assignment
Exactly
@@heavyandre9521 I was thinking the same thing when I saw this this vid must be a lie
Just an FYI.......The main Hazmat 1 rig is a 2011 Ferrara Ultra, and the 2nd Hazmat 1 is a 2013 Ferrara Ultra... other than that Great Video!
Is HM1 the FH05001 body from the old Igniter rig rechassised on an Ultra or a brand-new build?
They Should Throw Q's On Those Bad Boys Like Every Other Rescue (Except 5)
5 has a Q, no?
Nope, 5 Just Has The EQ2B
Oh wow

Difficulty Breathing? I'm Guessing Rescue Wasn't Available or This Had Something To Do With A Chemical
+kingnitroluna62897 yes.
Even Rescue doesn't respond to difficulty breathing. Its usually an engine, and a rescue if they are specially called
Ethan Winnemore Not true It's a Engine and Rescue sometimes.. and if it's Worst then a BC, Engine, amd Rescue goes out
Carbon Monoxide maybe ?
Isnt this why they have haztac medics now?
Very nice! catch
Awesome Video!!!
Isn't a difficulty breathing a EMS Call???
IF THE 2ND TRUCK IS IN THE FRONT AT THE STATION Y DOES IT GO BEHIND HAZMAT 1 WHEN IT GOS ON A RUN.....
2 rigs 1 behind the other in house. 1st rig pulls out, stops, 2nd rig pulls in front and leads to scene. I have seen same on other videos. WHY??
Paul2424 buff I would imagine because one rig wasn't ready for a call after coming back from another.
They are housed like that. I have no idea why.
NYC baby...property is too expensive here
To block the traffic, coming from the exit ramp

How can you have two Hazmat trucks with the #1? They both look like rescue trucks.
It's a two piece company
+Joshua Hannah Thank you for that answer
+Aaron Springborn No problem good sir
They have a hazmat tender
Gotta be going on different run that’s an Ems run
Depends on the source. Many firefighters also EMT’s also.
Hazmat does not run on fire only calls nor med aid only, as per the special ops chief
Nice Vid!! 8-)
They sent all those for trouble breathing!? Where I love that would get a engine and medic
I'm guessing it had something to do with a chemical or something else possibly poisonous that caused the difficulty breathing, causing Hazmat to be dispatched.
hldtrm True Unless if it gets Upgraded to a Hazardous Materials Assignment where Chemicals are leaking
Haha That’s what I just said!
Ive been looking everywhere. What is the call volume for hazmat 1?
Go to Google and type in FDNY Runs and Workers. You can find all the numbers there for numerous years. For 2020, HazMat 1 went on 735 runs for 678 emergencies and 57 fires.
Hey fyi the house is on 68th street not 69th
Unheard of where I live
What are the differences between both Hazmat 1 units?
One company, two trucks. Hazmat 1 is staffed by an officer and seven firefighters (four Haz-Mat Specialist, three Haz-Mat Technician II) on each tour. Riding positions besides the officer are Entry 1 and 2, Backup 1 and 2, Decon 1 and 2, and Resource. The primary truck (tandem axle) responds with the officer, Backup 1 (as the driver), Resource, Entry 1 and 2, and Decon 1 firefighters. The second piece responds with Backup 2 (as the driver) and Decon 2 firefighters.

There are many other trucks dedicated to Hazmat functions in the FDNY fleet besides Hazmat 1; all are listed here fire.wikia.com/wiki/New_York_City_Fire_Department
That explains even better why the second piece waited for the first piece to lead.
