🌟 FLEET FRIDAY 🌟 FDNY SUPER PUMPER 1 TRAINING, FLOWING WATER & COMPARTMENTS 

Glad you enjoyed it!

You are blesses bro!!you still got your Dad with you!!!👍🙏🙏🙏.ohio

I was assigned to Satellite One

And that’s what they are doing.

You bet! Thanks for watching

Thanks! You too!

Thanks

Thanks for watching!

@@SkylerFire You're welcome!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks

You're welcome. Love anything FDNY but their APPARATUS/EQUIPMENT is of particular interest to me. This video hit it out of the park. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for watching!

Prob never

@@SkylerFire than why waste taxpayers money. What a waste

@@Biggestfoot102099-11 comes to mind.

I believe, it would more likely be used for long distance pumping in case of hydrants system damage or for deflooding the subway in case of flood/hurricane

Hahahaha

Thanks

@@SkylerFire K on the notes

yup

Lol

Glad you enjoyed it

Glad you liked it!

Thanks so much!

Prolonged incidents

Glad you liked it!

It sure is!

Thanks

For sure

Tom ITS 40 yrs since I joined FDNY , IDK it ever being put to work , or heard of it used. Maybe a drill like this, but not in my 40 yrs . Can you please clarify. I've seen it hundreds of times at Tillery st. ( TFS) but never used thanks

@@burkena yes started as an emt in nyc in 1978, once on the west side of manhattan in a large ancient warehouse complex and then in a row of factories in greenpoint brooklyn. i have the photos to prove it and i can tell you it was quite an experience.

@Tom Savage I was in HS.. & working In teamsters @ the WTC '78..I took the test '77 for FD. Didn't really remember it other than like I said @ Tillery st. Ill have to look it up. Thanks

Thanks

Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it

They can use it anywhere just gonna take awhile to set up. But yes closer to water would be ideal

You rock!

@@SkylerFire 🧑🏻👍🏻

Thank you very much!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching

Thanks

Interesting and valid point you brought up regarding mixing potable and non-potable water. Enjoyed your comments. Take care.

Thanks for your comment. DEP knows about this unit... This is not to replace the Super Pumper!

I know what your talking about regarding the mixing of the 2 water sources… but I wonder if the hydrants there on the island are actually potable water hydrants…given the amount of water they would use for training I would think that they would be not hooked into the potable water system… I hope someone could actually confirm if the hydrants are or aren’t fed from a potable water main

@@tjlovesrachel In the early 20th century NYC had a separate fire main system. It was in place in parts of Manhattan and the Coney Island area. It was used for high volume flow incidents before pumping engine technology was what it is in the second half of the century or today. Hose lines and or devices could be attached directly to the hydrant with no engine needed. It was shut down mid century due to the cost of maintenance and its age. Even then though the two pump stations were supplied off the potable water system. The stations were located close to waterways and had manifolds that would allow pumping from a fire boat into the system. I don’t know if this was actually done through because the whole system would need to be flushed afterwards because leaving salt water in cast iron pipes would be very corrosive. In my own experience any chauffeur or officer assigned to water supply would face strict discipline if found mixing water sources. I’m sure the DEP has regulations on the paint on hydrants that denote that a hydrant may or may not be fed from a potable source as in many cities.. The hydrant in this post is painted as a potable hydrant. The pump stations on the old system had strict procedures to operate valves to ensure non potable water was not introduced into the potable system.

@@SkylerFire Thanks for your response Skyler. I’m sure the DEP does know about this unit but the cross connection hook up shown is the video is illegal almost everywhere I can think of. If the potable system pressure fails for some reason. The pressures from the fire boat and the submersible pump could easily push non potable water into the potable system endangering the health of thousands of people. If I or any other chauffeur was found mixing water sources , we would have faced strict disciplinary action. As far as the unit’s name in my opinion they should show some respect to FDNY history and the original super pumper.

For Sure!

When I saw this, I noticed it takes a lot of manpower and time to set it up. Amazing.

All depends on where the fire is and water source…. Even if it was right on the order setup time is over 30mins

Thanks for watching. Manpower is big key in operations when you have high rise buildings.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks

Thanks

@@SkylerFire You're Welcome Skyler!

I have one of the marine battalion coming soon. But no big marine unit yet

Thanks for watching! They are still training…

For SUre!!

Did you see what brand of apparatus that was

@@dennisthrockmorton9714 Ferrera

Thanks so much!

Ferrara,,,,

@@SkylerFire well the super pumper can pump 38000 gallons per minute and its the Guinness world record holder as well

Well they stopped a few times because the main training is to show the pump operator how to take in each water source. As each scene is gonna vary depending how far the water source is needed to supply it. Can take anywhere from 30mins to a hour depending.

Absolutely!

The original is now a museum peice. It is not in pumping condition and not owned by FDNY.

For sure!

yup

Big truck!

E260

Thanks for your comment! This unit will be used for Airport Fuel Farms, Fuel Tankers, Foam Calls something Prolonged!

It also can be used for water supply incidents where a large volume of water is needed at a large fire and the local neighborhood system is fully utilized due to the fire. This unit could be placed at a remote location where sufficient water is available and pump large quantities into the fire area using the large diameter hose. The original super pumper was used many times in this scenario.

These types of trucks are seen more at refineries thats why you don’t see them as often

HA

HA

holland started it with the hydro sub mote system, every fire service in the uk has at least 2, however ours are transported on a prime mover- a fire truck which drops off the units using a hook lift, we got them after 9/11 when the government decided they where needed. it must be noted one of the first services in the uk to have them was shropshire, they are mainly a rural service and had regular water supply issues. the prime movers are usually based on MAN or scania chassis. Funnily enough my local fire service Cheshire has one in use at a call right now, alongside 12 other appliances.

No. Just one

It’s not really replacing it cause it’s nothing like it. And yeah it will take time depending on where it has to get set up.

@@SkylerFire I see more similarities than differences.

If I have done my research correctly, this new Ferrara SuperPumper directly replaces the Maxi Water System (1987 - 1999, and of which became Satellite 6), which in turn replaced the original SuperPumper System (1965-1982).

@BEDT14 it technically doesn’t replace it.

supercedes@@SkylerFire

Well this is for a pro longed incident

Well in a real life scenario. To get water flowing faster what they would do is pull off their hard suction lines and just have the super pumper supply it’s own water and just have the truck feed to other trucks to supply water to the fire. They wouldn’t take this long to set up a water supply with an active fire

If they did that, the fire would either need to be at the water front, of their deluge guns would be off the fire scene.

SOC Members have been trained on the Hydro Pumps for a Long Time. Of Course if the river is frozen it's not gonna work well. This unit is gonna be very rarely used.

Hydrants can be used to supply this , just multiple hydrants. I remember visiting the quarters of the original super pumper in Williamsburg Brooklyn from time to time. The large hose tender that ran with the pumper unit had what in my opinion amounted to a fair sized walk in closet that contained fittings the could be used for every conceivable water supply scenario. Any officer or fire fighter assigned to the super pumper was considered a water supply wizard in my opinion.

The unit is for prolonged incidents. It’s for fuel tank farms near the airports mainly.

Thanks for watching

To train a good amount of people on the truck. 6 satellites, back up companies and marine units have to be trained on it. Covers the whole NYC.

Ordered unit

To get its full pressure it needs numerous water sources…. There is a few ways but it all depends on where the fire is….

E260. Was suppose to go inservice June 1st but the rear deck gun is OOS

Hasn’t been used yet. It’s for fuel tank farms.

All depends on where the water is coming from and how far.

Neptune System yes

It can be supplied off (2) large mains (hydrants) I am told also

No but been on 5+ calls

They are washed out after
