There are a few things to know about FDNY BC trucks

*I have no memory of these in service so chances are that they were phased out rather quickly after the 1996 merger. my guess is they went out with the 1997 and 1999 orders of suburbans*

Any questions and any way i can clear things up?

What are highriser bars?

the things on the back of the vehicles, they can be controlled to "fold up" so they resemble a ref's touchdown arms like this: | | and have lights to easily be seen
