FDNY Storage Lot That Houses Engines & Ladders That Are Being Fixed, Stored, Retired, Or Scrapped 

Instead of scraping them fix them up and sell them to volunteer fire departments in the south especially ones that have shoestring budgets.

Boy if those rigs could talk the stories they would tell....seeing some of those fine rigs in disrepair is heartbreaking.

I’d like to get one to have as a display when I open up my bar and grill when I retire!!

3:40 wished I had this beautiful rig

Even though old 54 Engine was a Ferrara, it was still disheartening to see that!

A bunch of those trucks are replacement apparatus after 9/11. You can tell by the medallion on the front between the windshields. It was a big deal when those trucks were brand new being put into service.

Thank you for sharing!

it sucks to see engine 54 getting cut up. That thing was pretty unique

WELL, VERY NICELY DONE KUSAN! ;o)

The thing is they may look really good on the outside but it's like looking at the body of a 25 year old that has the internals of a 90 year old. Fire apparatus get worn out and FDNY runs them into the ground and they in turn have a life span of about 10 years. These trucks and engines are very utility with no chrome like back in the day. They are tools that need replacing. They do get resold at auction and smaller departments will buy them for pennies on the dollar and and then rehab them to bring them back up to spec. You can get a used engine for under $5,000 and rehab it for 25,000 and no you've got basically a brand new engine for around 30-35k That will run for 20 years. FDNY churns and burns apparatus. Now they wouldn't even spring for Federal Q's for the rigs, they use that god awful electric Q which sounds horrible.

A few of them were donated to the Johannesburg SA fire department.

Rip engine 54 2003 rig BTW that cat though is like check out engine 65 😂

Hay bomberos en mi país que quedarian muy agradecidos con la donaciones, saludos desde colombia

SO MANY FIRE TRUCKS!!!! FDNY SHOPS!!! LOL Great video!

You should have asked to be allowed in to film, those guys are all great, they would have welcomed you.

That Poor Mack truck.

Que impotencia de ver estas maquinas en buen estado, y en colombia hay bomberos atendiendo emergencias en carros particulares, realicen donaciones.

At least new York city has plenty of fire trucks.

There's small and rural fire departments with limited budgets that could use these apparatus,why if they never intend to use them again and some are still in good working order,donate them.

I hope someone took that stray cat home

R.I.P Engine 54 (2003 -2014)

big fire departments will often have a horde like this so if extra vehicles are needed in an emergency they got them

When the guys working there go to a date the only thing they need to say is "Let me show you where I work". Take her there and...

.....I'm gonna miss Old E54...I'm not a fan of the new "look" to the 2013-2014 Seagrave engines....I liked the 2008-2010 Seagrave engines. But this new look the FDNY is going for....It's just not FDNY.

COOL

Could you please tell me where this storage lot is located

very Nice work good

Cute Cat

OMG for us that LOVE Graves...OMG

Not the mack 😱😱😱😵😵😵😳😳😳😲😲😲😣😣😣😦😦😦😭😭😭😖😖😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

The microphone on your camera is picking up an odd noise. It sounds like you're chewing gum or something, but not certain. What do you have for image stabilization on your camera? Interesting video.

All of those units have brand new units like engines 54 65 26 ladders 4 25 and bataltin 9

Nice!

Wished they an 89 Mack Pumper for me to have if retired

beware guard kitty on duty !

Couldn’t watch. Smacking that damn gum killed the video.

Do they have any old hook & ladders for sale

Thank you for the video- are you eating or chewing gum while you are filming??

Why do some of those trucks have the markings on the sides painted over?

What Company did the Mack be with

C

Where is the place

Can you go inside

Scrapped? oh no! D:

Why F.D.N.Y Sell that egine to other countries fire department

Why fdny scrap hi

sell or donate to lil companys across america who would love a truck like those that cant afford one

Wouldn't it be better to just rebuild the engines and transmissions on these units instead of springing for new units?

What a waste those fire trucks get fixed up get donated to a another fire department

😐اللە اکبر 2020

Sell em for one hundred grand each to towns across the country

Its dumb how they spend all that money putting leds on those spares and they use them as spares for a year or they dont get used at all they can atleast do something with those

Need to trade
