I did a Walkaround of FDNY's Oldest Pumper still in the fleet. This Pumper is a 1998 Seagrave 1000 GPM Pumper that originally belonged to Engine Co. 33 in Manhattan. The Piece was one of the first to arrive on 9/11 & survived the collapse of the North Tower that morning. SP98026 is its number. I believe its the last 98 Seagrave, I photographed Reserve 520s which have since been auctioned off. I hope the department saves this piece since it has lots of history & men that were lost on it that day. Although I know that never has happened in the past :/

Other than that Pumper, 238s foam tender although OOS still inside the firehouse. 3 Tower Ladders that are spares from Pre-9/11. I will be doing a walkaround video of Ladder 9's 2001/1999 95' Tower Ladder soon. 2 or 3 2001 Seagrave RM spares as well, Ex Ladder 24's 1999 Seagrave RM at the rock. Field Comm Spare as well.

It was good to see E168/EMS 23 quarters again. A few changes I could see that weren't there when I retired almost 13 years ago.
 
Who is responsible for maintaining g the reserve trucks and driving them around. I know Ladder 706 at 92/44 quarters hasn't moved in close to a year.

Your question was already answered here last year.

Spare fleet

Does anyone think that the spare fleet will have issues when the only spares are KME pumpers and Ferrara rear mounts?

As well as your comment about 706 not moving at 92/44 when it in fact has moved/been maintained.

Not only are the reserve rigs on the pmp schedule, they’re started by the companies they are quartered with.

Yea, the rig wouldn't startup & the battery was dead. Couldn't get a Light Demo Video of the 98 Rig :/
