Why do you think that? It certainly can work with any of the satellite units if needed.

May be electric fire truck like this: https://www.piercemfg.com/electric-fire-trucks/pierce-volterra would make a lot more sense?

It's a shame that the boat still isn't in NYC and instead have moved to Boston. It would seem like it would attract more visitors in New York than it would in Boston.

There actually were not windows there, they were just openings with the netting across them to keep people from falling out!

I love the beginning with a reference to bunker gear! After many out here don't remember even have experience with hip boots and slicker fire coats! Those were certainly the days.

You have to wonder about the cause since the building was scheduled for demolition anyway?

Based on the logo it looks like Foam 260 may be around for a while?

From the pictures I've seen it looks like it was confined to the stack, probably needed to have it cleaned by a good "chimney sweep"!

? I don't believe I've ever seen 4" hand lines in use. I'm assuming they aren't really handheld but connected to something along the lines of a blitz fire nozzle

I hope they are just connected to the regular system, if they are dead hydrants just for scenery they definitely could cause a problem if someone thinks they are a good hydrant and hooks onto them!

Looks like it's off to a great start! Hopefully The old apparatus in quarters as a backup, they certainly are going to be needing it! You would think that the QC at the factory for this rig would have been above and beyond since it's a showpiece

I'm sure it depends on the situation, I see potentially being used in either of the scenario if you mentioned.

I guess it depends on what part of the country you are in, and many areas where I've been at various times that's pretty normal. Some places even have 1st alarm responses from a mixture of units like that. It all depends on the area and the available resources.

I'm guessing it for an incident like this a command chief is not dispatched, the Marine battalion was probably the highest ranking FDNY officer on scene.

You would think the least the local departments could do would be to provide equipment to pump water from the barge! In addition, the way that looked I'm not sure it would be that safe to put people on board the barge unless a fire has been substantially reduced in size.

I also wonder why the MTU would go considering the barge isn't very close to shore?

I'm assuming the Marine battalion either road on Marine 6 or drove, I'm sure he certainly didn't go that far in 1 of the small boats.

I think this issue is much different, this product in AFFF has been proven to be a carcinogenic and environmental issue yet the manufacturers haven't removed the product from production nor look for alternatives. This is 1 of the few things that I think the government may be really needed to get...

Any idea what the backhoe pictured above is used for and where it is stationed? Do they have more than 1 of them? It seems strange that FDNY would have one considering so many other departments in the city also have them.

It will be interesting to see what the cause of the fire actually was. I'm not sure what kind of batteries Home Depot carries but the story stated it started in the battery aisle I wonder if that could have contributed to the cause or at least how rapidly it spread?
