I have used these - one should be on every FDNY Engine company. Just like the cock loft nozzles have migrated to all engines

Thanks Willy. I also have called it the sixth boro for decades now. Hope all is well.

While Yonkers is always good for fire duty they seem to be catching some good jobs lately

Yes. Agree with you and the hydraulics. Remember pump ratings are at a draft. When connected to a good main with 60 psi, and double or triple tapping the hydrant a 1500 GPM pump can produce 2300 GPM at a max pressure of about 90-100 psi. Now take that GPM into a second engine alongside to...

Nice work Skyler. Had me sitting here doing friction loss calculations. So my question is this Standard Large Diameter Hose (LDH) has a maximum Working Pressure of 185pi. Can be pushed to 200 psi. You can buy LDH with max working pressures of 300 or even more. Many of the high volume industrial...

Happy Birthday Captain John.

Stop already! Plenty of hydrants, plenty of tower ladders , all engines are now 2000gpm and inceasingly more frequent use of the Sattelites as above ground water mains with manifold. The Industrial High volume foam apparatus will be put to use when one of the fuel storage tanks ignites at...

Another factor in SI getting more FDNY resources is the fact that the mayors are predominantly Democrats and the city council is overwhelmingly Democrats. 4 of the 5 boroughs are approximately 65% D to 35% R. Staten Island is a reciprocal of about 65% R to 35% D. So more fire companies to a...

When I came on the job 45 years ago they were telling us someday fires might be fought with sound waves. Hahahahah.

I believe FDNY ten code usage began in 1953. Fire department ten codes generally serve to standardize incident classifications, standardize status and resolution messages and perhaps most of call reduce air time between CO and companies

Happy Birthday Chief K
