SPOTLIGHT ON: FDNY RESCUE 2 

Gonna miss Bergen. Used to go with my dad when I was young and ride all night. What an amazing time. If those walls could only talk.

A great historical account of the famous Rescue 2.....A past memory: While I was an acting LT in the Boston FD my brother FF and I visited Rescue 2 for a 24-hour shift. They were in with Engine 210. The Brothers treated us very well, fed us a delicious supper (interrupted a few times). We were called out to maybe 2-dozen responses, 6 were All-Hands and, one was an explosion with fire (2-alarms) as the final response during our memorable time with a fine group of Brother Firefighters.

Rescue 2 was my grandfather’s last company before he retired in the late 60’s early 70’s. He had received the Thomas E. Crimmins award while R2 as well. Been trying to find photos of him with his company. FF Ray Willson

I'm surprised you didn't mention the exploits of Lt. Richard Hamilton, once the most decorated firefighter in FDNY history! I read his book, "20,000 Alarms" a few years ago and it was a good read. He was a lieutenant with Rescue 2 for many years, including the crash and fire at the "Piller of Fire" church in Brooklyn when the two airliners crashed. He also responded to the carrier fire where he almost died from carbon monoxide poisoning, but survived. He retired in 1975, but all the local media wanted to interview him. On that, he showed up to an interview and were upset that he didn't wear his medals. "I'm no damn Mexican General!" he told them. "I'm just a guy retiring."

Im 3 years on the job in Wyoming. It felt nice to have a shoutout for our state toward the end. Thank you for that

Great to see you bob gallione look great pal

Hey guys! Thanks for sharing a piece of fdny history. You have answered alot of my questions especially with the rescue squads! Keep up the good work and thanks again!!!

I love these vids! Keep'em coming. A proud history indeed.

Nice... R2 was on full display years back on the tv show "the bravest"... good show that gave a accurate account of FF life without romanticizing it... sad to see some of the guys in that series were killed on 9-11... keep up the good work

Hope to visit their new house someday. Met a great bunch of guys there 2001, after 9/11. They lost Lt Pete Martin, FFs Billy Lake, Eddie Rall, Lincoln Quappe, Kevin O’Rouke, Danny Libretti and John Napolitano 9/11/01. Pete Lund (Ret. FDNY but LODD Woodmere NY 6/14/2005).

Love these videos! Keep em coming!

Super nice! I’m loving these videos. You guys have a big chance at RU-vid.

I loved the “I smell the smoke” clip! Love that smell.

Also I’m really liking these type of videos! They original and they really help me learn.

Great video. Visited the Rescue 2s new house a month after it’s opening. Great group of guys and amazing history.

these videos are great! Do one on a firehouse in Staten Island

Looking forward to more of these in the future

Good job guys telling the history of the FDNY , keep the stories coming, from a brother F.F. 1982-2001 E-85 L-39 E-70 L-53 The greatest job in the world

As a buff I, of course, like the Bergen Street house. I'm sure that as much character it had it also probably outlived its purpose. How about a spotlight on Ladder 3 sometime?

Great show. Great FD. 🍀🇺🇸🍀

What an honor... I was a student at PS 243. And lived on Dean Street. The Bergen St house was right behind my school. An added bonus was Engine 234 and ladder 123 up the street. The 80s was LIT!!!!

Awesome video 👍👍 THX!

Good Job Kubes and Louie !

Could you do one on Rescue 3 in the Bronx? I'd love to see that! These videos are amazing! Thank you so much.

Is there a way to see more of the rigs and their equipment, especially anything that might be more specific to New York? Love your new channel, keep up the great videos!

Nice great work 👍

nice great work

Pride of midtown next!?

Some suggestions: Engine 16, Ladder 7 Engine 68, Ladder 49 Rescue 3

That is the brand New Houe of RESUE2

Do you have a spotlight on - FDNY Rescue 1?

3 fires a day. Or as they say in Detroit, a slow day.

What’s the name of the song in the background? Excellent segment btw!

Man is Kevin really short.

Make these like ten mins longer, AT LEAST.

What is at those different respective houses now? Are they all just kind of preserved?

How many times have all 5 rescues been called to the same scene?

God, I hope retirement has more to offer than this...

how tall is lou haha ?

Could you do a spotlight on Mraine 1

I bet one of those 15 dislikes comes from EX Mayor Bloomberg!

Can the next spotlight on be the Jolly Rogers

All the talk about Rescue2 and you barely showed us anything. We didn’t get to see the inside of the new house (short of a couple of pictures of the walls). How about interviewing a couple of the members? The video is good overall, but it should definitely be longer and have more content.

Yooo

Stop lip reading Louies lines. Lol

Wow that was lame

GUYS, GUYS, GUYS. WHY NOT TRY FRIENDS, FOLKS, PEOPLE, ETC.
