National Rescue Task Force -Fictional

USAR 17 from Greensboro FD. International / Hackney

Hey, been a minute. Noticed this page was getting some attention. So I’d figured I throw out a post to see how it does.

These are the rigs in the Western New York area that are rostered on the task force.

Kenilworth Fire District No.2

Squad 4- 2015 E-One Walk-in rescue. Equipped with a cascade system, light tower and camera, pop out awning, and a command station. Carrries a full complement of ropes, electric cutters/spreaders, and various outlets rescue equipment,

Engine 3x -1968 Young Crusader Rescue Pumper. Equipped with a 1250 GPM pump, 750 gallon tank. It has been updated to carry modern rescue equipment. Used primarily as a second piece/back up to Squad 4 as it can only handle a 5 man crew.

Chief’s truck (Unofficially Kenilworth 9) Has a command station in the bed, and it also carries a small complement of rescue ropes and harnesses.

City of Buffalo Fire Department

Rescue 1- 2019 Seagrave Walk in rescue.

Rescue 2-2002 American LaFrance walk in rescue.

I haven’t thought much of what the Buffalo rigs would have or carry because I’m not familiar with what the real R1 carries. And R2 doesn’t exist anymore.

Hope y’all enjoyed this. This all for fun. A lot of what I’ve stated doesn’t apply to real life. Im definitely stretching the truth a bit for the sake of fun.

Hope everyone is doing well Looking forward to seeing new pieces at the shows coming up

Tonight we will highlight the USAR team of the Greensboro fire department. GFD has 84 trained members and respond with the following units for a USAR deployment-
USAR 1- 2017 International workstar support unit with extra equipment.
USAR 4- 2012 Spartan Crimson rescue, this is the main rescue truck for the team.
Special Ops 11- 2014 Peterbuilt SVI shoring unit, it carries wood, trench panels etc.
AIR 17- 2018 International workstar Ebertbuilt air unit, carries up to 100 SCBA cylinders as well as the fill station.

The next units integrated into the NRTF are units from the Western New York area. City of Buffalo’s Squad 1 and Rescue 2. As well as Kenilworth Fire District’s Squad 4 and Engine 3x. Buffalo’s squad and rescue are part of the collapse team and hazmat team. Kenilworth’s squad has a cascade system and is currently at the manufacturer being fitted with new equipment. Engine 3x is currently responding in place of Squad 4 and while she is old she is very reliable and is a rescue pumper like Buffalo’s Squad 1. Members of Buffalo fire have all of their training. Kenilworth’s volunteers just finished their last certification and were able to be integrated.
