The city is about to enter a financial crisis akin to 1975. FDNY EMS is short staffed and underpaid. Volunteer fire departments throughout the United States are experiencing rapid declines in membership. Many volunteer departments are closing or merging. Certainly not a fire service model in...

Thank you CTbuff for sharing the civil suit documents . None of us are attorneys or judges. So to speculate on a final outcome would be foolish. It will be an interesting case to follow.

Can’t read the entire article without paying $5 or more. No thanks

Thanks for the info and video. Stay safe

appreciate the update....what department were the white apparatus with?

Quite the collection of apparatus manufacturers....E-One, Pierce, Seagrave, and Spartan.....must drive the mechanics crazy

This is so sad and my heart breaks for his wife and family. But it is indicative of what the city has become. Look at what the just installed as their mayor, they will re-elect Bragg. They will Re-elect Hochul, who after the election will tax all New York State taxpayers to prop up Mandami and...

1301 Hours Working Structure Fire 22 Madeline Terrace - Chestnut Ridge. Fire in a 2 sty PD heavy fire conditions upon arrival. Colliers Mansion conditions inside. 2 lines stretched and operating. Crews opening up. Monsey, Pearl River, Orangeburg, South Spring valley and Mahwah NJ FD's all...

Totally agree

These have been around for 15-20 years. Not many people use them. Some Florida departments experimented with these over the years and then never bought another one. Broward County Fire Rescue has had one for about 10 years now and it is stationed out on Alligator alley 20 miles from the next...

Looks like a great operation at a slightly challenging run. E331 double tapped the hydrant for maximum water. L142 flowing a great stream from the bucket. Bldg is built to burn and built for early collapse. Early decision to stay out of building, nice use of Marine 6, and good use of hydraulic...

DC city commissioners backed its firefighters today and shut down the pending shady $25 million purchase of low quality Fire apparatus. A nice win for our brothers in DC.

M FDNY had HME cabs with Saulsbury Bodies in the late 1990’s. They were shit construction back then as well.

Looks like a spare with flip plates on the rear cab door. But it dosent look like the one from the other morning

The union is correct HME - Aherns Fox is a low end builder. To my knowledge they do not build aerial pieces. Owned by the Atonne group who owns 13 other diverse companies that do not make fire apparatus - private equity/ venture capitalists. Interesting situation.

This afternoon! May the members trounce the PD today !

Thanks for the update. The reason i inquired about the CFR runs was that E79 ran just short of 3600 medical runs in 2025. That’s about 9-10 a day. Might be best to put an EMS fly car with 2 EMTs in 79 area from 0800-2400. Until more definitive plans are worked out.
