Rac?

Been reading up on some FDNY stuff recently. Whats an RAC Unit?

Its an old converted ambulance that responds to fires with Gatorade, water, Hot chocolate, etc for the brothers after the fire. Basically a rehab unit. The guys who work on it are on Light Duty. Its great having a nice gatorade and a cool damp towel to put on your head after a job in the summer.

Sounds like a Canteen truck. :D

I can grin, we have one in our stn, and 4 others in the Co. They respond on call, for most 2 (plus) alarms or any other event that DPSC decides warrants that kind of support.
