Looks like LED roof lights now? I’m in the midst of designing a scale model and picked Ladder 175, but with the LED lights and chevrons I’m guessing I’ll switch to new L169!
I wish I could be working in one of the facilities and help maintain the fleet of engines... I trained for this kind of thing nearly ten years ago...... I would like to know where I can go to take their tests......
Engine 292 had a kme engine and got struck by a drunk driver the fdny totaled the rig and the fdny ordered a new rig for them while they were in a temporary spare

Back In The Fifties, When I Was A Young Boy, The Korean War Was Going Hot And Heavy, Two Guys From The Neighborhood Were Fighting For Their Lives Up On The Frozen Chosen Reservoir, Two Tough Marines, Semper Fi. 🇺🇲 At The North End Of The Shops, On The 35th.St.Side, Were Two Big Classrooms, For FDNY, Officers. All The Kids From The Neighborhood, Called It, The Fire College, Next Store Was The Museum, Where Old Steam Engines, Were On Display, With A Few Small Antique Pumpers, Ladders, And Various Fire Equipment, I Watched From A Grassy Hill In B. Altman Warehouse Parking Lot, Across 35th.St. From The Museum, The FDNY Was Pulling Three Antique Steam Engines Out, And Hooking Up A Team Of Three Horses 🐎🐎🐎 Per Rig, Three Chestnut Horses, Three Black Horses, And Three White Horses, From A Huge Horse Van,To Each Rig.Then A Police, Radio Car, Escorted, Them Up 35th.St. Made A Left On To Queens Blvd. And Went Over The Queensboro Bridge, To The Parade.🇺🇲 I Remember On The South End Of The Shops, Hunters Point Ave. And 34th St. Was The Radio, Repair And Communication Station, I Watched Every Day, From My Classroom Window, At Public School 80, Greenpoint Ave. And 35th.St.The Mohawk Ironworker's, Erecting The First Huge Radio Antenna. At The Shops. That Was About Seventy Years Ago.

Fun fact … that’s just fire apparatus. And just 1 of 3 facilities for maintenance and repairs on fire apparatus. EMS and the command vehicles have an entirely separate facility
Your a lucky guy to get a look around this - I'm from the UK and an retired firefighter I can't believe the size of some of these vehicles. Brilliant vid :)
@@Tarantulautism many departments feel like they can’t afford Seagraves. They don’t realize that cheaper often doesn’t last as long! That’s why FDNY stopped buying KME and Ferraro and went back to all Seagrave. It’s also much easier for the repair shops to work with one manufacturer.
Most people don’t think about repairing the apparatus! The men and women who maintain these rigs have to get it right. The men and women in the stations and the citizens on NYC count on the apparatus operating as designed. Amazing! Thank you!!🇺🇸
4:18 Ladder 44 is using the oldest rig in the fleet right now, a 1999 Seagrave that responded on 9/11 and was partially destroyed and rebuilt as a 2001. Historic rig that should be saved imo.
1:11 hold up, their retiering a kme already? Im not talking about the seagrave, the kme with the number 3 on it is missing the turn signal, grill light and also the chrome around the headlights
KME engines are being replaced. Seagrave holds the engine contract again. KME started in 2013. Every 10 years rigs get replaced. The first batch of KME are up. KME pretty much went bankrupt on the city contract. Its parent company closed its manufacturing plant. They couldn’t keep up with the warranty work associated with the FDNY
Alright I have to ask, in every one’s opinion what is the best manufacturer of fire apparatus? I know they are out of business but American la France was the best! Now I’m not sure, Pierce maybe???
That's a red square that I've visited many.Many a times back in the seventies eighties nineties until I left staten island came out to p a and I don't see jack
