FDNY HD - Tour of the Repair Shops + New 2013 Tower Ladder Closeup

[@cliffordgill9052]

Every single one of these fire engines are unique!! Custom built to the specifications the individual fire houses require!

[@Dproud2700]

Back in the 90's I got the privilege of touring the LAFD shops and the primary units being worked on then were Crown Fire Coaches and Seagrave Ladder Trucks. Nice work. There I got photos of the shop and units.

[@theGovnr1]

This video is incredible, I never imagined this place would be so large and I am amazed at how many rigs are in it. Thanks for sharing.

[@copndonuts]

I use to take tours of this place when I was a kid in the 1970's (thanks to my mom being with the NYPD). It was awesome back then and still is now.

[@collinshults6680]

Great and rare video. Couldn't help but think about the logistical point. Not to mention their reserve fleet they must have to have all these units in the shop. Always been curious what a major cities plan is for replacement of units.

[@jamesharmon6285]

This is every heavy truck mechanics dream job, I know if I was still in the diesel field this would be my Valhalla

[@denzel387]

you need to know about diesel engine

[@15georgest]

That sure is an old style light bar on the back of the suburban at 3:20

[@jrftworth]

Yea, they need to ditch the ancient halogen lights on their apparatus and get LED like most of the country already has.

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

Nice shots and interesting to see the shops again after my visit 18 years ago! ;o)

[@COOLDON76]

Satellite units are used when there is a high rate of fire.They do not have pumps of there own, housed as a secondary engine to a company with a 2000GPM pumper. Normally called out on the 2nd alarm if I am remembering right. Theyre equipped with a deck gun with changeable tips that can push around 5000GPM depending on the how many lines are feeding it. They also carry extra foam and hoses. Basically just a wagon with a big gun.

[@bagheera36]

Looks like there was lots of spares in the shop, ladders and rescues. I saw two ladder 80's, guessing the first one is now a spare.

[@captaijimbob101]

Scotsfire that engine with the full length light bar is a 2002/2003 E-ONE ,used mostly for funerals or a spare. I believe it used to be used as engine 55

[@bagheera36]

Only reason I can think to pull it out would be some kind of structural integrity issues with the ladder itself, we had a tower pulled out of service for stress cracks on the boom during an inspection. Other than that the 2001 didn't look like it was in bad shape compared to some of the spares they are sending out.

[@ntfd125]

The Ferraras appear to be in the shop more than the street. The new TL looks great

[@bobobrazil1973]

I see they have the best lifts money can buy.

[@COOLDON76]

Does look like the first Ladder 80 we seen is the now old 80 a 2001 Seagrave 100'RMA. Most likely will be a spare or sold. The 2nd one being the new Ferrara that wasnt put in service yet at the time of the video. Wonder what spare they was using, and why they take the old one OOS before they put the new ones in? The new Seagrave's looks nice, I like em.

[@whatsgweed]

such a rare footage, man what a shop thats a dream job for heavy diesel mechanica

[@gonemudding9205]

Rescue 1 is a beauty

[@doubleupd69]

Great vid!!! U have a lot of access. At "the shop" did u see lots of new rigs like ladder 80 & 157

[@8responsible8]

most are either (if still in good working order) are usually sold to smaller depts, placed in reserve, or used for training, or repurposed. The rest are used for parts, scrap, sent to junk yards. a small portion are sunk to create artificial reefs, restored, used as movie/tv props. This is just with different depts in general each dept might do its own thing.

[@jeremeytaylor2433]

8responsible8 my station is rural and we bought a rescue from a bigger inner city department a few years ago. it's a 1987 Mack and serves us good

[@hammy37fire]

I have been there but never that far in, great video. I wish my FD service our own trucks.

[@WoWfan1151]

Cool, I'm planning on going into work with him one of these days, ill ask him what happened to rescue 1 and ill post a comment on one of your videos when I find out.

[@8responsible8]

most trucks with short aerials have a much shorter wheel base and are thus more maneuverable. also the tandem axel set up found on larger trucks is does not help maneuverability

[@timbobay9729]

How do they get them in and out they were in very tight spots ????

[@louielast4713]

Hell, I live in a very rural area, and I think FDNY has more units in this shop for repairs than we have in the entire County!

[@DanielCPurdy]

Louie Last Rural state. More than there.

[@WoWfan1151]

Hey, is this the shop in Long Island city? If so my uncle works there. He is one of the senior mechanics and is up for a medal soon.

[@akielbarrett717]

Does he still work there? If so what is the hiring process to get into this place.

[@SuperStumpje]

Nice! They must have more vehicles in there than they have in my entire city. Might just be because there are 30.26 times more residents in NY than over here? By the way, where is everyone that works there? The place looks empty.

[@hngbones]

A firefighters theme park!!!! :0D

[@BadMaddog2]

Put the address in the description.Also can u them were is tiller ladder 40 since it got burned

[@b39sme]

Do they have any other repair buildings ? I don't see any ambulance's at this one.

[@stuffjunk5019]

there are about as many trucks just in the repair garage as there are in a small cities entire fire fleet lol

[@ww954]

WHERE ARE THE MECHANICS?

[@FlipSwitchGamesOfficial]

Nobody at the shops knows ;P I asked around the guys there and they said that R1 is in New Jersey with Ferrara

[@joshuaknight311]

After they're repaired do they go back to the fire department or what

[@ryanhealy3074]

Wait...R1 got in a wreck?? And I would DEFINITELY not mind an old 'Grave tower at my firehouse.

[@BadMaddog2]

which video has tiller ladder 40 I want to see very bad

[@zmastr281]

May I ask, are the guys saying they hate the new Ferrara's, Seagrave's or both?

[@theGovnr1]

May I ask what exactly is this place called The Rock that you mention in some of your comments and where would that be?

[@tubaman068]

how many pieces of apparatus were damaged with Sandy?

[@Hdhgzxjm33]

The New 2013 Ferrara Ten Truck has is gorgeous..

[@realtv01]

Are there any fire trucks left at the stations?

[@mrrockdaddy100]

wat is that in back of the new tower ladder ps do newark have a building like this iam talken about newark nj?

[@FFahall]

What is the purpose of the Satellite engines

[@fireenigne]

Can you get tours of this building?

[@TacoStacks]

Very very cool

[@HMSDaring1]

Why does the FDNY have SOO MANY fire trucks? Literally they have several English counties worth of fire trucks in just the maintenance/repair shop? does it double as storage as well because some of those vehicles seem quite old. and what about in the actual "firehouses", does that mean they have no vehicle?

[@flammabletube]

At 4.30 what is a Bomberos unit doing in NYFD workshops if my memory serves Bomberos is Brazil fire service also applies to several other South American services also how many units do the FDNY have if there are so many units off the road in workshop

[@Rob_Moilanen]

Just FYI, Bomberos is a unit from what is known as "Spanish Harlem" in New York City. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Harlem

[@Forz932]

bonjour moi meme qui suis POMPIERS DE PARIS je suis enchanté de voir cette vidéo merci encore !!!!

[@tarence319]

Tell me something,.....with all the apparatus in this HUUUUGE building; how in the world do they get them out when they're finished with repairs?

[@gsarjos]

was everyone one on coffee break? hahha..... nice vid of some nice rigs

[@DudeVW]

what do they do with the old trucks?

[@RyanDonovan-qh5hu]

Engine 218 was involved in a mva with a MTA bus

[@Chronicz777]

Do they ever get worked on? They look so dusty like they've been there for a while!

[@joemac356]

Serious riggage. No ALFs?

[@backspacecows01]

Nice video. Thats a helluva shop. I fix firetrucks also. Just not on such a large scale.

[@scotsfire]

what is the fdny pumper with the full width light bar at 00:11

[@lidsman2221]

Why is no one working?

[@fordnut4914]

how many trucks in total does NY city have any one know?

[@trey.344]

About 200+ Or 300+

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

I always wondered what are those big tubes that are attached to some trucks in the stations?? They look like vacumms or something,anyone can tell me please

[@CaptainLee]

They are connected to the exhaust pipes of the truck to bring the carbon from the truck to the top of the station AC unit and released into the air. The tubs keep the firefighters from berthing in bad things.

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

wow very interesting,now I know,thanks

[@chrissnipes522]

ferrara has nice trucks we have to custom cab ferraras in our station one is i think a 2012 got it brand new awesome trucks

[@SGTxHELLCAT]

do u think that some of the trucks form 9/11/01 were able to be put back in service

[@jamesgibbons9543]

Yes some of them were put back in service and then replaced later on.

[@FlipSwitchGamesOfficial]

The guys there said they HATE the new rigs and theyre always having problems

[@jashaun27]

What is that place used for?

[@Salty_reviews]

Long Island City?

[@Frangulate]

Bombero is the Spanish translation for firefighter. I'm sure that's why it's there

[@TheJoel3803]

Didn't know the FDNY had that many trucks

[@flyboy6753]

what is the rock?

[@DC-Customs]

DUDE MOST EPIIIIIIC CATCH EVA THANKS FOR UPLOADING I LOVE YOU :)

[@doubleupd69]

Thank you bro....keep up the good work....

[@jacob6.7]

some of tho's trucks don't look like there going anywhere

[@TheJimdog69]

must be a pain in the ass to get rigs in and out!

[@chrisacosta5022]

Hey Bro are you a firefighter

[@NYPDFDNYSUPPORTER122]

How did you get in

[@iwillstareintoyoursoul9762]

Just ring and tell them you're a fire buff. That's how I got in to their spare pool down in Greenpoint.

[@robertross804]

thanks 4 the tour

[@Ramseylove]

Nice Work FlipSwitch Games

[@itsreallytom4310]

Nice video. Thanks!

[@keeperofthecope2110]

For those of you asking about "The Rock", here's your answer. The informal nickname "The Rock" refers to the site of the FDNY Fire Academy on Randall's Island.

[@dpryce316]

If the FDNY is ever planning to get rid of the Mack Hazmat 1 Heavy Rescue Truck I'll gladly buy the truck from them.

[@jeremeytaylor2433]

thems a hell of a lift

[@thomaswagner122]

of course R1 wouldnt be there all those trucks were out of the Bronx R1 was is the Manhattan shop

[@airspcfan]

There is no Manhattan shop. The two big shops are both in Queens, plus a shop at the Fire Academy, and two satellite shops at Seaview Hospital in Staten Island and Coney Island Hospital in Brooklyn.

[@KD-mm3li]

Jesus ny has a lot of trucks in for repairs.

[@CCscott]

Nobody working?

[@jolar1985]

How can I get a job, fixing those bad boys is a no problem for me?.. wish I can get in there...:'(

[@jmainob]

[@FlipSwitchGamesOfficial]

Thats how I felt! lol It was awesome

[@graydonjj9187]

wow the shaking of the video really gave me a headache !!!! WTF

[@whiteboysixty5]

why isn't there any federal Q's (jw)

[@Samanthareneeheart1]

Apparently they arn't allowed by the city on NY something so I read somewhere they are afraid of the sound bouncing around off all the buildings so the use the EQ2B sirens insted.

[@Samanthareneeheart1]

I think so.

[@blueticecho5690]

Christ... what did you do here place a mini cam on a hound dog head and let it run through the shop.. I got dizzy watching this..

[@FlipSwitchGamesOfficial]
