Operations

Richmond Engine is one of two Staten Island volunteer fire companies, the other being Oceanic H&L Company No. 1 founded in 1881.

Richmond Engine is dispatched by the Staten Island Communications Office of the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) and operates on the FDNY Staten Island frequency.

Typically the department responds in addition to the initial assignment dispatched by the FDNY. The company is fully trained and operational with the apparatus and equipment they have. Therefore, when they arrive first or when needed they will implement their operations alongside FDNY as applicable.

Apparatus

Richmond Engine currently operates one piece of apparatus, Engine 1 a 2005 American LaFrance [2]

gollark: The upshot of this is that you can press "s", type a query, have relevant pages semifuzzily matched, and press "enter" to navigate to the one you want (assuming the one you want is also at the top). HIGHLY productive.
gollark: Also, when the search query box comes into existence it's focused using javascriptoids™, *and* when you press enter in it it goes to the first matching page you aren't already on.
gollark: ```javascriptdocument.body.addEventListener("keydown", e => { if (e.target === document.body) { // maybe use alt instead? or right shift or something - this just detects unfocused keypresses if (e.key === "e") { location.pathname = urlForPage(currentPage, "edit") } else if (e.key === "v") { location.pathname = urlForPage(currentPage) } else if (e.key === "r") { location.pathname = rlForPage(currentPage, "revisions") } else if (e.key === "s") { state.showingSearchDialog = !state.showingSearchDialog m.redraw() } }})```
gollark: Minoteaur just got keyboard navigation! You can press "v" to switch to "view", "e" to switch to "edit", or "s" to open search.
