Spare fleet

[baileyjeff]

Yesterday I was talking with the officer of an engine company in Bronx. It is to his understanding that the spare engine fleet is very close to being depleted. His pumper is a KME and he had been told that his pumper will be out for about a year.

Interesting, I didn't know about that location. Wild to see just how much apparatus FDNY keeps on ice "just in case", that many rigs is a fleet larger than most cities on its own!

Streetview from June 2022 also shows an old Mack Searchlight rig hiding in there as well

So is it true that there almost out of spares?

Back in the day when if there was no spare rescues they would recieve a Pumper. Is that policy still alive?

197 Front Line Engines need to keep a decent amount of spares

engines companies would probably see more wear and tear then truck companies so more likely to be out of service not counting lemon rigs of truck companies .
