New Seagraves

They should. If they don't that's just crazy.
hose is replaced on a separate schedule . hose is stamped with a date on it . hose older then 10 years or hose that is damaged is to be taken out of service and replaced . so most hose isn't on the same schedule as the rigs
 
Stumbled across a video of Eng 161 responding to a call from qtrs. Noticed something I haven't seen on any other engines since the 90s when I was in WHB. Did FDNY start putting hose reels over the pump panels on certain engines like 161? Or is it something the company did themselves? Looks like a pretty big reel with light weight forestry hose on it.

Thanks. Personally having certain engines that normally respond to brush fires quite often probably should have 1. Ive dragged normal attack line thru brush, and forestry hose. Ill take the forestry hose any day for brush fires. I saw on FDNYtrucks page their 2010 had 1 in 2 different spots. 1 horizontally behind the cab, and the other was sideways over the pump panel. Probably moved it for connivence at some point. I just never noticed any other engines with one. It makes perfect sense and the same reason we had 1 over ours. And had it on an electric reel on our little rescue truck. Except ours had 1000 feet of garden hose on it that worked pretty well on the average brush fires. 331 made fun of us the first time they saw it. (in good fun)Until they were dragging a couple hundred feet of hose thru the brush and we walked past them putting out fire they were trying to get to. Then pushed a button to pick it up. After that it was wheres WHB?
 
E162 used to have it on their rig too, not sure about currently. Like you mentioned, it’s because they’re first due to a lot of brush fires in the park. Similar to 161.
