Every vehicle in the FDNY fleet uses the parkways, and the EMS Command has some pretty impressive monsters that rival heavy rescue units in size and weight. MERV (Mobile Emergency Response Vehicles) are like rolling operating rooms, chock-full with all kinds of medical gear, including full-sized "J" and "M" oxygen cylinders...a "Motor carrier" would need all sorts of permits to transport these...The lone exception to this is the FDR Drive, whose serious weight and structure-gauge restrictions forced FDNY to adapt special pumpers just for use on the FDR.All kinds of city agencies have trucks and other oversize apparatus (The NYPD's "Large" ESU Trucks, for example) that crisscross the city on parkways every day... |
