- There is 2 Tactical Support Units in the FDNY. TSU 1 is on Roosevelt Island covering Manhattan, Bronx, Northern Queens & Northern Brooklyn. TSU 2 is on Staten Island at Rescue 5 quarters covering the rest of the city. They are each staffed by 1 Firefighter from Rescue Operations and must be Rescue Qualified. They respond to a various amount of Rescue Operations Calls, such as Collapses, Trench, Subways, Water Emergencies, Blind Shaft Elevators, Debris / Bricks from a Building, Beach Rescue, Scaffolding, Window Washer Rescues, Any Technical Rescues, Heavy Pin Jobs, SCUBA Calls, 10-76 Commercial High Rise Fires, 2nd Alarms Citywide, Airport Emergencies and any special calls. 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. When the TSU arrives on scene before the Rescue Battalion he will assist in helping one of the Rescue companies usually getting tools they may need and teaming up with the Outside Team. TSUs both have a 14 foot Zodaic boat that they can utilize. Mainly TSU 1 uses the boat on Rosevelt Island and Randall’s Island to access the East River. They also use the boat Central Park in Manhattan and even Orchard Beach in the Bronx. TSU 2 may use the boat for the numerous Lakes, Ponds on the Island. They may utilize the boat in the rockaways and in Coney Island for Beach Rescues. It has 4x4 capability so it can drive on sand and During rain and snow storms they may use the TSUs & BFUs along with the High Water Units as they can drive thru high water. So of the tools that are kept on the Tactical Support Units that are not carried on Rescues, Squads or SSLs are the Transit Level which goes on a tripod and magnifies 20 times for a 200 feet range. It allows the user to determine vertical angels. “For example a wall is leaning off a building they can put the transit and mark a spot and monitor the location to see if the wall is moving or shifting.” They have a Zistos camera which is a pole camera that also have a thermal camera. Which can be used for tight areas, Hazmat Scenes, Person Trapped in a tight area to see better visual of something. They carry extra SCUBA equipment as they support the rescues in dive operations. They have numerous types of Large LED Lights. Compliment of Technical & Water Rescue Ropes. Night Vision Googles, All kinds of cordless saws, All kinds of Hazmat Meters, Radiation, Dewatering Equipment as they are dispatched to assist in Dewatering operations and assist Dewatering Unit. All Kinds of Jacks, airbags, extrication equipment jaws. Water rescue line gun, all types of saws and chain saws. Go jacks to move a car. They have a 85 foot tall light tower for scene lighting. There is also a Marine Tactical Unit that is coming in a different fleet Friday they carry more Water Rescue Equipment compared to Rescue Equipment on this unit. Tac 1 Responds to about 1,500 calls a year and Tac 2 Responds to under 1,000 calls a year on average.

Yes they do go to a lot of calls thanks for watching
Nice fleet Friday video of the FDNY Tactical Support Unit 1!👍🏻

You bet!

Thanks for watching!
Nice! I really look forward to Fleet Friday’s. Keep them coming Bro! 👍🏻
Thanks! Will do!
Bless Really enjoying these Friday videos. Salute the FDNY for helping you. Thanks 😊
Skyler, great job on the videos really like the fleet Friday and I’ve been in fire service for 36 years served as a career firefighter and as a volunteer fire fighter and I have always been a big fan of Fdny used to drive all the way up from the Rhode Island border in Connecticut to go buffing down there for years with my buddies but never really got an in-depth look at each one of the specialized companies and I think that’s what makes your fleet Friday so special so keep up the good work brother stay safe out there and thanks to you and Fdny for your access
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 .
Yeah crazy!
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?
Yeah it has come a long way! But the city has gotten bigger! The Marine Tactical is pretty close to it but has more water rescue equipment! I will have a video out soon!
@@SkylerFire Thanks Skyler, will be looking for it.
Thx Skyler! TSU seems like a mini Rescue company, really cool. 👍🏻
Pretty much!
nice vid with info Skyler, with that loaded multi-purpose unit, surely an expensive rig $$$$....👍
It sure is
Awesome Fleet Friday. Learned a lot today. Thanks Skyler...🤗🤗
KEEP IT COME MORE FLEET FRIDAY FROM FDNY
Thanks
Great video as always thank you for making these they answer so many questions.
Glad you like them!
Yay! The Big Boy! Thank you so much Skyler!
Any time!
@@SkylerFire 👍
Great video Skyler. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for watching!
Great video . There was not one tool on that truck that is not on Rescue 1 except for the meter thing and the one video camera . Maybe the night vision, but everything else is on Rescue 1. That's the same size zodiac that's on top R1
Yes pretty much everything on the TSU is on the rescues
Thank you they keep a lot on all the trucks have you ever thought about a station tour?
For security concerns no videos permitted in any FDNY firehouses. From what you can see from outside in the street is what you can see. Thanks for watching
Thank you
You're welcome
Tx Skyler thatvwas intresting.
Thanks for watching
Nice job all around
Thanks!
Nice job skyler from big dee
Thx
This is great ! I had no idea what the TSU units were used for! I like learning about the fdny and special units they have and what they respond too.
Glad I could help!
@@SkylerFire keep up the good work! I really appreciate the fleet Friday videos
Outstanding! Great Video!
Thank you very much!
Thanks Skyler I appreciate what you do and I have always wondered what this piece of equipment was used for just by seeing it at different types of incidents.
Thanks Rush
It's crazy how all the garage doors at FDNY firehouses have such narrow garage door openings.
They were built in the 1900s
@@SkylerFire I absolutely love the FDNYs traditions. I'm a retired Deputy Sheriff and our county has a division kinda like New York cities ESU. Almost every road patrol deputy is cross trained as with different certifications like paramedic, water rescue, vehicle extraction, SCUBA and SWAT. During the summer months I did road patrol and marine patrol/water rescue. All road patrol Deputies were also CIT certified Crisis Intervention Team/SWAT.
My dude.. thank you for this
Awesome video.
Thanks
Thank you for posting these Fleet Friday videos. Really enjoy them. Is Field Comm on your list? I'd really like to see that.
You bet! Yes it is!
TSUs have got to be the most versatile rigs in the department. Thanks for the great tour. What kind of motor is that on the boat? It looks awesome.
Nice video, keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Awesome video, been waiting for this one :)
Thanks
FLEET FRIDAY FDNY TACTICAL SUPPORT UNIT 1
Yup
And to answer some questions about the Evinrude Rescue Pro 30hp. Evinrude RescuePro Pump-Jet outperforms traditional outboards and eliminates the risk of propeller contact. This is not a traditional water powered jet. This is military grade technology. I also noticed two different motors. At 13:19 the motor was all black and a 25hp and at 14:08 is was a totally different motor. Can you explain that for us? Or my eyes playing tricks? Love the videos!
Ha! I didn’t even notice that but that’s because I didn’t finish the video one day and they had a run so had to go back! That boat and motor are spares. They use to use black boats but idk what happen to them.
Isn't that new Wing 4.7 the new boat? Haven't seen the old Zodiac on there for a while.@@SkylerFire
Excellent walkthrough. Great video! Also, the boat they lifted off TSU 1, did they switch out the motors. Earlier in the video the 14 footer you showed had an all black Evenrude Motor. Oh…never mind, I re-read through the comments and you answered my question. Keep up the awesome videos!
Brother your weekly videos on Friday are excellent. On todays video was there a prop on the boat?
Thanks so much! No props in the boat.
Are there any of the 1989 TSUs remaining?
The Ford F 350/Reading/Saulsbury units?
Have you done a video already, or are you planning a video of the Rescue Operations Logistics rigs?
I believe they are 2002s the spare international TSU. None of the others. I have a have of Rescue Logistics 1 that’s the only one with anything on it. RL2 is just to transport
Ok. Thank you, I’ll go find the video.
@@ritirons2726 didn’t post it yet! Soon!
Ok
I figure the compartment on the bumper is the control for the wrench?
Yes
Good job as usual Skyler! You sure you don't work for FDNY recruitment division? What type of motor is that on the inflatable Skyler?
Thanks so much! No I don’t hahaha! It’s a Evinrude Rescue Pro ETEC I believe it’s 30hp
Tactical Support Units aka: the Big Boys in FDNY😮
Hahahah
Just wondering what the other 2 trucks were to the left and what were the other 3 vehicles further down
Rescue Logistics
SOC Compressor
And a couple support vans just for transport
Great video! What does this unit carry that wouldn't already be carried by a Rescue, Collapse, Marine, or any other specialized unit for an incident? Or does this just carry more of what a specialized unit already carries, hence its a "support unit." Also what would require the use of the boat? That FDNY only has two of these units in the city, its not like they're getting there anytime soon. If there was any aquatic emergency, wouldn't it be handled quicker by a Marine Unit, NYPD Marine Unit, Coast Guard, or probably a few other water rescue type agencies I can't think of.
Thanks! So almost everything that’s on the truck is on a Rescue or Squad besides a few things like the Transit for Collapse, Stanley Unit, a couple Hazmat Meters and a few minor things. The rig is support the rescues / squads at the scene extra tools. The boat is used on the island they are quartered on. There is only 3 Marine units staffed in none summer months and 3 extra during summer but still not very close. If Marine 6 is out it may take about 25-30mins for another boat depending on the tide. The boat is via a crane so it can be lowered into areas that you can’t get a boat into for Example Central Park and other ponds. Tho the Rescues carry a boat it has to be blown up. The tactical support until is 4 wheel drive can be driven on a beach. Hope that answered your questions. Also can’t rely on other departments…
ever thought about expanding this fleet friday concept into the NYPD specialist units? Like SRG, ESU, CRC etc etc think it would be really cool
No I don’t think NYPD would approve that. As they have people Harassing them daily taking pictures of there cars.
@@SkylerFire ah yea that's understandable
That’s a really cool rig, very good walk around. Did they switch boats for the demo…the one you showed up top had a black motor and the one they lowered was white lol
Yes good eye lol
@@SkylerFire how many tsu units are there…including reserves?
Random question. I noticed with all the rigs the white lights don't come on until the truck is in drive. Why is that?
I think it’s so you know a emergency vehicle is in motion.
Yes, the NFPA standard says that when shifted into Park, "blocking right of way mode," white is not permitted as a warning light color. This is to avoid blinding oncoming traffic when parked at a scene, particularly at night. Flashing headlights also must be shut off when parked.
What else stays at rescue operations house
Rescue Battalion 1 & 2, Tactical Support 1, Command Tactical 1 & 2, SOC Compressor, Dewatering Unit, Gators, ATVs, HS Volume Pumpers, Rescue Trailers, Hook Lift Truck, Reserve Rescue 14, Reserve Engine.
Got to it before me had the same question
