Think B40 relocated to SI on this box. Couple in the overturn on the SI Expressway; E166/L86 went to that and 168 was turned around. Made for a busy morning on SI today.

Anybody know how fast the shop is getting around to pulling these rigs for repairs? Have seen pictures of the rigs still in active service with tape over the cracked windows and plastic bags in place of shattered windows. It's extremely disheartening to see such violence towards public service.

I think they have been getting used for a purpose different than the original intention. Have seen footage of them the past few nights driving around with NYPD vehicles and are quite possibly being used to transport PD around.

What does the department do with these boats during the "off-season"? Are they dry-docked?

I would say that Satellite 1 will be disposed of as it is 4 years older than the other 5.

That's a very quick response for Marine 8 right out of Great Kills Harbor.

Anybody know anything about these? Looked like Ford E-series Type 3s all white with FDNY Ambulance written on them. Numbers on the boxes were 2020 and 2046. There was a total of four of them (being transported on semi's) parked on the West Shore this morning just off of Exit 4.

Anyone have the full list? I personally saw: E253 at 165/85 E331 at 160/R5

There is a ?major? brush fire in Ocean County today in the Pine Barrens. Fire began around 3:30pm. Located off of 72 west of the Graden State Parkway. Smoke can be seen as far as Middlesex County and ash has been falling in Northern Monmouth County...

Don't have the box number off hand but currently have a lot of activity at Leeds and Guyon. E162, 165 L82, 85 R5 Haz-mat battalion, lots of special ems and probably am missing some others.

I'm sure 4 truck will appreciate this... Here is Ladder 4 responding to a call late Wednesday night/ early Thursday morning. They were behind 54 and in front of the chief. All three were actually running their front line trucks as well.

According to department officials the number of vehicles damaged or destroyed from this stands at 91. Can we try and get a full list of all the trucks that were damaged or destroyed as a result of the floodwaters from Sandy? So far we have reports of Ladders: 137, 161, 166, 169, 170 Engine 206...

Well I went to the Garden for the Rangers Game 4 viewing party and decided to take a trip up a 7th ave to see the cage by Engine 26. I wish the weather was a bit better, but it was still really interesting to see Engine 26 in the house and Engine 65 in the street. The only thing that really...

Might be considered a double post, but attached is a shot of 24 with the steerhorns. I think the horns make me like it a lot more, but still not as nice as the old 99 Seagrave. It looks like some creativity was used in making a mount that would work.

Very nice to see those trucks back together again. I just wish R5 would be in better shape and not just the parts department for the former R4. Do you have any more shots of the both of these?

Okay these are by far not the best pictures I have ever taken. I tried multiple passes by the firehouse, tried running after the truck down 34th and 7th, and just missed it another time (all in the matter of 3 hours). Finally I was walking back to the garage where the car was and happened to...

You want the proof... you can't handle the proof!!! Sorry it is not a great picture at all, but I'll have better ones in the coming days.

Hey, just a quick question on how the FDNY works the NYC marathon in Staten Island. I understand that they bring in extra units and stage them over at Engine 160 on Clove Road. The question is, how many units do they bring in and what is usually brought in (number of engines, ladders, and...

I think some of those chiefs that respond as Car __ respond in unmarked vehicles. I recall seeing Car 8 responding to Great Kills in the Spring and it was a White Crown Vic. My guess on the year 2005 or newer. Did a quick search and here is a picture I have of it responding to 8480:

Signal 5-7 at 19:56 for a possible Bus fire at Beverly and Coney Island Ave. G-man rule should be in effect for this one. Engine 281 would be first due to this but was sent to an EMS run at 681 Clarkson just 5 minutes prior.
