Prob a dumb question, but if there is a major foam event that goes thru all the tanked foam on the 5 units, do they get refilled at the fire site or do they have go go offsite to be tanked back up?

Foam Pods at the Rock. And a dozen firehouses that have extra 5gal foam buckets. Also understand that all engine companies carry 3 foam buckets and the satellites carry foam.

Staten Island use to have all the plants that’s why they had 2 foam trucks.

Thats what I was thinking about, a major factory or tank farm fire were 1500gal per truck on a surround and drown would be used up fairly quickly.

The FDNY needs to look at "High Ladder Units. London England bought 2 after the tragic fire in the Grenfield Towers. The largest busiest Fire Dept. in the world has more high-rise buildings than any other city in the world. We need to have an exterior option for those fires, such as the recent Crane fire and collapse in Midtown a few days ago, and the dramatic Lifesaving Rope rescues last month or so. FDNY had 144 ft. High Ladders back in the 1960s & 1970s. One was assigned to Ladder 24 in Midtown and another to L-119 in Northern Brooklyn at one point in time, and at another time Ladder 14 in Harlem. Photos Below of FDNY High Ladder and more currently "L.F.B." = London Fire Brigade high ladders, Total height of 64 meters, that have an elevator style bucket to transport members and victims up and down the very tall ladder. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired.
