Rescue 1 has always been my top of the NYFD! I have always admired them! Have even been to their house in 2003. The treated me and some if my guys with the upmost respect! Great guys!
Pukar Kunwar one of the chauffeurs is quite an aggressive driver and I’m pretty sure has been told by one of the higher ups that he has the most accidents out of any chauffeur in Manhattan
Watching that big rescue truck work traffic like that is impressive.......A kept saying to myself during the video "that guy is good, reeeeeeeeeeally good" ! Most people have no idea the skill it takes to maneuver a truck that size or bigger in that kind of traffic.
Im pretty sure, that if you just listened to audio only, you could spot Rescue 1 out from any other fDNY unit....something with the air horns, slightly different tone id say. Super video clips too, many thanks for sharing.
Those chauffeurs got some skills now. They make that big bore Cummins sing. Got one of them in my Rescue and man that are a boss under load. Outstanding.
Baltimore City Fire Department Reserve Truck 53 & Baltimore County Fire Department (White Marsh Volunteer Fire Company) Engine 201 also uses Federal Q & EQ2B
I just came across this video after watching another video on what happened to the Original Rescue 1 firetruck and crew before the horrific 9/11 attacks
I never have agreed with the electronic Federal EQ-2B, but I guess it is a cost effective kind of thing. I see most people wont stop for it, but when they get that real deal 120 dB Federal Q2-B screamin' behind them, they will move. Great video friend!
