NYPD Truck One 1 ESU ESS + FDNY Ambulances X 2

Truck One of the New York Police Department Emergency Service Unit follows (and is followed by) an FDNY Ambulance. Notice the use of different siren tones among the vehicles and the air horn of Truck One. When the public needs help they call the police. When the police need help they call the ESU.

Can someone explain this to me....NYPD has heavy rescue also and emt's? why?Are they trynig to lighten the load of FDNY ,i mean whats the deal?

[code3paris]

@marchdisco77 I had the same question so I went to Rescue 1 headquarters and put the question to the guys on duty and they sort of shrugged their shoulders and said "the police can do whatever they want." There you have it.

[firemedic916]

@marchdisco77 its not actually a heavy rescue he titled it wrong its an esu it transports swat

[code3paris]

@firemedic916 I titled it correctly. I also could have written HAZMAT and that would have been correct as well. The ESU do much more than SWAT work. Do some research and you'll see.

@code3paris Frenchy here is right. ESU not only do SWAT/SRT operations but are a multifunctional unit in New York who attend and assist in such situations as HAZMAT, SWAT, S&R etc. They also attend scene that would not usually require police presence. They attend most things that the FDNY do even when they do not essentially need to be there.

@billesh55 American through and through from Boston. ESU do lots of things. Yup.

[josetackeria]

who cares what it does, that truck is bad ass either way

[SPaoline4302]

That air horn is BAMF!!

[cinnamo66]

that heavy rescue your all talking about the truck number is 5514

[Wonkawillie77]

@firemedic916 They are also heavy rescue equipped and do extrication, building collapse and other fire duties if they get there first. They have been butting heads with the FDNY for years and have even tried to take over ALL rescue duties in the city. The FDNY needs a mayor with some balls to put the NYPD in it's place.

[Wonkawillie77]

@code3paris That is, sadly, the issue that the FDNY faces everyday with the "hotdogs" of NYPD ESU. Other than SWAT and other police matters they are firefighter wanna-bes who get in the way of the firefighters trying to do their job. It is a duplication of services and costs the city millions and because they are the police they can get away with it. They are arrogant police and think they are as elite or even better than FDNY Rescue which is total bullshit!

@marchdisco77 thats new york baby.

[danbeb]

At first I thought that was a garbage truck with emergency lights/sirens.

[resqparamedic6]

@marchdisco77 the probobly the reason the paramedics went with was cuz a hostage situation or they could be swat medics

[psp310]

@marchdisco77 wanna be firemen but couldn't make the cut
