FDNY Ladder 24 and Engine 1 go on a run

We are at the quarters of FDNY Ladder 24 and Engine 1 on 31st Street off of 7th Avenue, where we see the two units as they respond to a call of a gas leak somewhere in the vicinity (location not given at the time of the call). 24 and 1 have some of the newest rigs in the city, with the new Ladder 24 being the most recent addition. The new order of ladders by the department has been made with Ferrara. Ladder 24 is a 2011 Ferrara rear mount with a 100 foot stick, while Engine 1 is a 2010 Seagrave. Enjoy the sight of both of these rigs, as well as the lights and noise made when they leave quarters. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on March 8th, 2012.

I like how people just walk by the station as the trucks are all lit up and they don't really care or find it interesting. ME, it's like running down the stairs as a kid on Christmas morning!

[@ericpanetta7976]

Nice

[@Wannabefarmerinmn]

Totally awesome!

[@jamiebartlett7511]

great video. FDNY are the best firefighters in the world.

[@Cam-jm4dk]

to bad they put the FD is put before the city ...its even in the name. Every dept is the best in its own way..each city has a special challenge it has to face.

[@Miguelangel_Canchica]

Munich...

[@PFDChaseVids]

Great catch, I like how you got the call on video as well!

[@amandaclark8197]

9!.., zzz. WE

[@sphman01]

It's about time the FDNY put blue led lights on the back of the rigs. Nice lights set up!!!

[@luciusvorenus9445]

I remember Engine 1 used to have a small Empire State Building with a King Kong on the top cab near the front. Father Mychal Judge, FDNY Chaplain, who was killed on 9/11/01, his church is across the street from this house.

[@MichaelCaliri]

went to nyc last week Loved it!!!

[@BIGSHANEK]

That's actually what I figured after I gave it a bit of thought. Thanks for the reply! :)

[@dannyrancho1024]

the best fire trucks out there greetings from Germany

[@tarence319]

Nice video. Hate the siren though. Sounds like a sick cat!!!

[@NavalFroces]

the lights are amazing! ^^

[@hannepan02]

Love it! These lights..

[@FL92002]

@123bubum I zoomed in on an ad for a long since defunct department store called Gimbels. It was around in the 40's and 50's.

[@arothko8939]

FL92002 and 70’s.

[@firepower782]

Modified response the FDNY is using now. Since they were responding to a natural gas leak and the engine was 2nd due, they responded non-emergency. The truck was 1st due so it went emergency.

[@mooseriddle]

Urgency????? Love the blue lights!!

[@christopherjones8911]

To all New York firefighters u r hero

[@somethinburnin]

Over here at least in New York State and NYC, we are by law able to put Blue on the back now due to the better visibility over Red at a distance. I like it.

[@mmcgahn5948]

Michigan State Police did a study on color of lights. Clear (white) is the most visible, but can blind you. The next most visible are in this order; amber, green, red then blue. The advantage of the blue light in the rear is it differentiates from the brake lights. You see some DOT trucks now with green to the rear on highways.

[@Jimboslice1270]

you are doing great videos still like the bull horns on ladder 24

[@josephburke7224]

Longhorns, bullhorns are much smaller.

[@VEDay45]

Department choice, preference. It depends on the the city or department. Some do it out of respect, support. Believe it or not, some find it a nuisance or in the way of getting out tools, distraction, etc. Maybe the Department protocols say they're not allowed, etc. I know bigger cities like Chicago have them on their rigs. They're out there, not just cities, small suburbs, towns, etc. They're not required. I personally love them and think they're not complete without one, but that's just me.

[@ryanmcknz1]

Ottawa has the Canadian flag on each side of the cab above the rear cab door with the motto

[@FL92002]

I don't know about the salary of a Probie, but RIT is short for Rapid Intervention Team. The box is the location of a fire box nearest where the call is put in.

[@CardinalNews]

NIce video!

[@dwoodCNA]

so much for the 200 ft back rule.

[@MrTenor-ch5gs]

No one ever respects the laws for fire trucks it’s sad and pathetic

[@BIGTAYLORNI]

Nice video, The blue lights look weird on FDNY or American trucks at first is didn't like them but now I'm getting used to it, over here we have all blue, Ff from Northern Ireland

[@peanut111shorty]

was that a firefighter who walked in at the end? why were the engines lights turned off?

[@cons6948]

The farm on the search, the

[@antonio4114]

do these citiots know how to yield to emergency vehicles?

[@MrTenor-ch5gs]

Not in any way no

[@Gamer65Actual]

Their depart was kind of confusing. Why did they not stop traffic so the truck could leave the street without any car in the way? And that 1T52 taxi needs a ticket 4 following an emergency vehicle to closely.

[@backpingu]

Great vid :)

[@Jaslo112]

Nice video

[@Bigu47]

@FL92002: Now that the latest Ferrara and Seagrave have four months operational experience, how have the Rigs performed? PS: Pass by your Firehouse many times on the way to Penn Station.

[@theone2225]

you should see if their house has their own website, you could try contacting them there, Im sure they could give you information.

[@BillBlast7372]

1:56 *WHAT IS LOCATED INSIDE THE LARGE SILVER ALUMINUM BOXES ON TOP OF ALL(OR IT SEEMS LIKE ALL) ENGINES??*

[@AErney51]

Don’t quote me but I’m pretty sure it’s water rescue supplies

[@pizzasubs]

Have always been curious what kind of MPG's do these trucks get, I am going for a real long shot here and say 10 or under both City and Highway.....and if I'm correct the city pretty much pays for the gas of all these trucks right? all the trucks really look fantastic....

[@MrTenor-ch5gs]

Yes city pays for the gas In fact every fdny fire station has a gas pump for each truck

[@BIGSHANEK]

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but what are the black pipes that hang down from the ceiling and connect to the trucks?

[@Firegod1234]

It's an odor of gas, not a fire with people trapped. No reason to go tearing out at lightspeed.

[@LiamPattisonPhotography]

why did u zoom in on that building at the end of the video? just a q

[@firefighter7752]

why did you zoom in ont the numbers on the truck just a question

[@MultiMonster69]

do they have laptops in the officers seat or anything like that?

[@mrengine9]

Yes

[@rhinebckfirefighter]

What did the fireman say do you work here ?

[@AJWatson1111]

HELL YEAH!

[@UNIDEVER]

Why do the firefighters walk out of the station and have the truck meet them there outside instead of getting onboard inside the station?

[@jasonziemba5885]

Traffic/pedestrian control so the rigs can exit the station.

[@idodo96]

there is one fire truck or a ladder that has a cabin on his rear part to control the back side of the truck because of its length.. what is the name of this truck?

[@emt5330]

A tiller

[@avfd1403]

What do you use to record your videos?????

[@eldhiablonomad5157]

i'd like to be one of them

[@michaelrosenberg4159]

Very brave men and women are me Ml

[@drippinglass]

They have a mayor that doesn’t support the first responders up there.

[@FFIrish23]

Why does the engine hut its lights off?

[@eriksand9262]

Doesn't the FDNY have computers in their rigs with the call info on them, why does a firefighter give each rig a piece of paper?

[@Cam-jm4dk]

the paper is for the call log

[@ki4nge4]

They might need a pc of paper on the way to the fire... you never know right ??? K

[@Cashcrop54]

Ladder 24 has the steer horns too. I have the Code3 model of. Ladder 120 that has the steer horns above the windshield. Up till now thought that was their trademark! Wrong! Again!

[@GrandmaKeith]

Why did engine 1 run without lights and siren

[@tanu3873]

JAGExecutiveServicesInc It ran with lights. Sirens weren't needed as the ladder was doing that work.

[@disneyfanatic9658]

Those drivers of vehicles, which don’t move for emergency vehicles, should be heavily fined, and have their licenses suspended.

[@Northern_va_fire_buff2598]

IKR

[@zonkercousteau]

Notice how on the back of the engine it says "Keep back 200 feet" and that stupid taxi driver, tag number 1T52, is tailgating the engine!!

[@LiamPattisonPhotography]

@FL92002 oh ok cool!

[@SIRlodgey]

Stayed in affinia manhattan joined at right where scaffloding is stayed on floor 1 very noisy

[@SJFireWire]

Hey, my name's Shawn Fanslau, I am 14 years old a Junior FF and Thorofare Volunteer fire company in south jersey, my dad Wayne Fanslau was best friends with a guy named Alexander "Al" Budd who worked for this company and died of lung cancer a long time ago, I was just wondering if anyone currently working for this FDNY company knew Al. My middle name is Alexander named after him I was just curious to find more stuff about him if you know anything please comment back, thanks

[@louiselaflamme2802]

Salut mon ami pompier new York

[@wheelman1991]

Hes right, it is amazing they let you work there. You dont know how to read.

[@vickers0723]

Ladder truck

[@mikegomez5510]

You guys take your time. By the time you get there the poor guy is deAd.

[@greyman686]

What guy? It's a gas leak.

[@chrisdix7037]

Kind of hard to get to a call quickly when people don't move out of your way. Also can't really go fast when you have a pedestrian crosswalk every 100 or so feet
