33 had the 95 a few times. I think they had a Mack 95 foot tower and the more recent Seagrave 95 foot tower. I wonder if there is any need for more on Staten Island. They only have one on the island; 85.

Long haul for either rescue in this case.

162/82/23 is bascially just off Hylan on Nelson. They actually drive north on hylan only to have to drive back south on Buffalo to access this call. Now if marine 8 was in service (which it won't be until 5/3) this would have been the quickest responding unit. Atlantis Marina is right on the...

Makes me more sure of it... just need to confirm the registration. The gold FD and NY are a clue, the tape covering a scratched off 38 under the grill and the registration confirms it. Good to see a lot of their custom features still on the rig while it finishes off its days in the spare fleet.

Is this why 243 is at 168 and 153 is at 86 right now?

Is that Ladder 38s old 2001 Rearmount that ladder 16 has in the video? The gold "FIRE" stands out to me

What is causing the engine spare shortage? KMEs being down more or fewer spares in the pool? The 2008s were thrown right into the pool basically the day after they came out of front line service. I know Tillers, Squads and Arielscopes are always rough when it comes to getting spares.

Interesting that 161 was able to get there faster than somebody at either 165s or 159s quarters. This is a long haul for 161 to be first in. Much respect to them in stepping up like this when the borough was low on resources and really lacking on local native crews.

Also note the EMS units visible in this video. NYU Langone bus which is likely from the Brooklyn campus. Would expect to see SIUH (Northwell), RUMC, and FDNY buses at the call.

4 of 5 boroughs... anybody from the Bronx want to come and join to make this a five borough tour?

Staten Island today said let’s make sure we put the explanation point on the month.

Not on unusual to see some far relocations on brush season but usually not seeing Manhattan trucks make it onto the island let alone first due to a job on the island. Huge amount of respect to SI Dispatch today!

Doubt we will ever see this many relocated units operating on SI at a box. And some very interesting notes: - Companies from three boroughs fill out the initial assignment - both 202/101 red hook raiders operating at the box - E9/Sat 1 means this is the third satellite on the island. - Based on...

I thought the reason for no Pierce went deeper than just the warranty. Heard Pierce isn't as flexible with modifying stuff.

Subtract out the batch of new Seagrave engines that are in the current contract. There is also a chance some of these contracts could have options for more units Congrats to Seagrave!

Yes that is the Seagrave facility which has been handling all the FDNY deliveries and warranty repairs for over 20 years.

True point on the no good spare squad. The spare pool is 2000/2002 era. The current 8 front line trucks are 7 2013s and 1 2014 (squad 8 ex 165). I personally am a bit surprised we don't see the entire front line fleet replaced on an 8 year cycle like the rescues are now. These trucks are used...

Monmouth County activated task forces to assist and to respond to other incidents.

It also served for some time in Manhattan at E-8.

No high axle on Staten Island?
