Had the privilege of taking a tour of Fireboat 343 and Marine 1's house. Great group of guys there. The boat is a beast.

[@jays106]

that boat looks like a beast 20,000 gal a min that is alot of water!

[@dbyers3897]

Three Forty Three & her sister, Fire Fighter II are an enormous waste of money. Marine Div needed to be reequipped after 9/11 but these two oligarch yachts were uncalled for. The newer, smaller boats are much faster than any previous FBs or these two newer, large ones. They cost a fraction of the large boats & take much, much smaller crews. Keep in mind, the Port of NY & NJ is long past its peak of commercial harbor activity. Many of the piers & warehouses have been demolished. A fire on a garbage barge is not an uncommon occurrence & can be stubborn but poses little risk.

[@dbyers3897]

@@jays106 The two large Robt Allen Ltd fireboats are capable of pumping up to 50,000 GPM, although I believe the main bow monitor is rated at 20,000 GPM.

[@jays106]

@@dbyers3897 maybe so but he flat out said he was sending 20K a min

[@FDNYResponseVideos]

Both marine units were paid for in large part by $54 million in grants from the Department of Homeland Security - this grant has a stipulation that makes these boats a multi-state resource. They respond up and down the east coast as needed. Thus not only protecting the ports of NY and NJ.

[@vote4carp]

343 is basically a floating firehouse. So awesome.

[@jacktworek8008]

Great video great comms hearing 343 tell those on the dock to stand back here comes 20,000 gallons a minute. OMG yes stand way back. Thanks for posting this one

[@jasminelindros8923]

Just for reference, 20,000 gpm is well over a ton of water PER SECOND. Way, way, waaaaaaay back.

[@Msradell]

And that isn't even the actual full capacity of the boat! For capacity is 50,000 gallons per minute.

[@33lex55]

Now, that's what I'd call a dumpster fire...

[@rushturner1911]

Excellent coverage Marine 1 is a beast!!

[@al_drago]

Great footage of Fireboat 343!!

[@JohnpaulDejoria666]

Right across from the Gardner Warehouse fire off 12th and 59th back in the last 70’s. The super pumper’s tender was shooting water over the WSHwy demolishing the building. Once crazy video!

And the marathon keeps on going.

Did he really say 20,000 gallons per minute? Wow! Lends new meaning to “here comes your water”!

For your own safety Vacate the Area but just keep jogging by

[@markhlst]

That fire alarm sounds just like the one at the Tiwers

[@seldoon_nemar]

The hardest part for them is not SINKING the barge outright lmao They dumped about 60,000 on that fire in a 3 minute attack

[@joshuacheung6518]

If it sinks, it ain't on fire!

[@time2fly2124]

typical new yorkers "oh theres a fire scene and hoses everywhere? i'll just jog over them real quick!"

[@qwert0]

You want them to stand there for several hours and get in the way while waiting for the fire department to pack up and leave?

No, they can walk around the fire scene. Once someone trips over a hose line they sue the City of New York....@@qwert0

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Very nice fire boat.

[@jacobkeppler1984]

Awesome work guys keep it up there

[@ex-missourifireexplorerrob8274]

Awesome catch! Reading about the Marine Units, hitting a few walls, I did not know if the Marine Battalion Commander & each Marine Battalion Chief have their own personal boat/marine unit?

[@davidsnyder2423]

I’m curious why the barge wasn’t towed from its position by a tug and then the marine companies extinguish the barge ?

[@dbyers3897]

That why Command had Marine BC & BC11 go assess the barge to see if was okay to tow it or whether there was too much fire & smoke to safely board & hook up. Haz mat risks & crew safety are the paramount concerns in a situation like this.

[@rd4660]

The boys want to play with their expensive toys!!

[@FDNYResponseVideos]

Tug was 2 hours away but coming - marine units didn’t have the capability to tow that barge

[@ryaneagles5431]

I'm assuming it was more secured tied up because when Marine 1 hit it while tied up to a tag it would have pushed it out of the way but I could be wrong

[@georgecoons6872]

Colorado River needs a fire boat like that. Laughlin Nevada.

[@Cooler2324]

Great catch, we probably won’t see something like this for another 5 years

[@bluesky777ish]

Very powerful large caliber stream of water capable of destroying buildings

They needed about six more bosses on that fire.

[@ELRutz]

and 10 more engines and trucks

Is Leticia James in the Area

[@slackjawedyokel1]

we can hope

[@ralts6464]

How many emergency units does it take to smolder a dumpster fire in New York? The world may never know.

[@22LR.addict]

Does FDNY have any of the large exhaust fan units for venting large areas like this?

[@pheyman1526]

I’m certain they do. If it exists the FDNY probably has it.

[@BumberenzoTheFireEngine]

Question? Do FDNY fire boats have sirens 1:33 I hear a siren.

[@jimmydtaylor2]

I think that is the fire alarm for the barn.

[@CPR12345]

Yes, Fire boats have lights and sirens.

[@BumberenzoTheFireEngine]

@@CPR12345 why don’t I hear it in every response video I saw?

[@CPR12345]

@@BumberenzoTheFireEngine I consider myself a fire buff, but I may have made an incorrect comment, and I will admit it. I actually live in the Chicago suburbs, and have never been to NYC. I know a lot, but I don’t know every detail about the FDNY …or even the Chicago Fire Department for that matter. I know that Chicago’s 90-foot-long fire boat (called Engine Company 2, and named after Firefighter Christopher Wheatley of Truck Company 2, who died in the line of duty in 2010) has red and green emergency lights (port and starboard side, respectively). The smaller boats that they have also have the red and green lights. (As do most of the apparatus on land) I’m not sure if any of the boats have a siren, but of course they do have air horns.

[@musicland2024-gq2pb]

tell the Announcer that there called fire engines do not fire trucks

[@charlesrowan4632]

If you tow Bardge into water the fire will intensify because more air is available.

[@agontop1]

Same amount of oxygen inside or out. Towing the barge out is safer. Possibly saves the building structure from the heat, smoke conditions rapidly dissipate and reflash watch easily controlled if the barge is in the middle of the river. Always much safer for personnel to operate at a distance than in confined areas

[@scottscouter1065]

What a stinky situation!

[@cammiller5516]

Chief leeb run the call❤

[@w9awx1]

Another fire there?

[@firehazemt]

Just 27,500 GPM…😂😂😂😂

[@carolyndice2425]

What is an OSC or maybe it was OSP??

[@time2fly2124]

they said OSP, not sure if its the same thing but it took some googling to find out its some kind of "positive pressure proportioner" OSP-24i-T and the video i saw a demo of seemed like its some kind of portable foaming hookup without having to make foam on the engine.

[@donaldlong9259]

Does NYC still dump their garbage at Sea?

[@pheyman1526]

No these barges are used to transfer garbage from across the city to a central incinerator. Helps with traffic on the roads by taking all those trucks off the roads.

[@charlesrowan4632]

A lot of radio talk🤷‍♀️

Firemen in shorts?

[@scootertrash911]

They don't have time for uniforms and washing vehicles, the goal is survival for one more shift.

[@teufelsstamm775]

How can you work so badly? The street has to be closed to everyone who doesn't belong to the fire department and there are fire department people walking around without masks and it's connected again with the pressure bottle. It seems to me as if the fire department people don't really hang on to their lives and that's not appropriate
