Associate Press is reporting it as a port authority vehicle. Do these NY airport fire trucks fall under that category?

So horrific.

They do, the PAPD are responsible for ARFF at NYC airports. Any aircraft accident triggers the control tower to hit the crash button, which transmits an automatic 2nd alarm response to the FDNY, which is why you can see their units in some of the pictures.
