Just found this channel and I very much looking forward to watching all the older videos. I'm sure I have a lot of videos to watch. Are you part of the FDNY?? Thank You To All Our 1st Responders For All You Do For Us.
Great observations you’ve made. I’m guessing that the Fire Department of New York Special Operations Command Compressor truck is essentially either a utility truck, a multi-service unit or technically a manifold wagon / squad-like type truck that transports some of the equipment that engines and ladder trucks also carry and transport then, besides the forestry hose you pointed out
As usual, great work. One day you should compare with European and other foreign fire trucks and equipment as theirs do not seem adequate, especially the small size hoses.
Don't forget that buildings in Europe are usually sturdier (made of concrete and/or bricks) and fires are confined to one - two rooms. And as the walls cannot burn, all you need to extinguish is furniture, and 20 or 30mm high pressure hose is perfect for that. But for bigger fires there are still 50 and 70mm low pressure hoses on board.
