🌟 FLEET FRIDAY 🌟 FDNY ENGINE COMPANY 23 ~ HIGH PRESSURE PUMPER

[@Moose6340]

It never fails to blow my mind just how much stuff they pack onto and into every single piece of equipment no matter how big or how small. It's a masterclass of how to efficiently use limited space to get the most amount of essential items into the apparatus. And I never actually thought about them making the pump panels on all the engines identical but man does that make perfect sense.

[@SkylerFire]

Yup for sure

[@richr5874]

Top notch work, Skyler!

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks

[@mrad.13]

It's actually pretty incredible what they do on a daily basis and seemingly so effortlessly

[@SkylerFire]

For sure!

[@thomasfreeman7770]

On the officer’s side pump panel the white painted discharge can be seen. This is the only discharge that is plumbed to the third stage for high pressure operations. Many other high pressure engines also have a rear high pressure discharge. There’s never a high pressure discharge on the chauffeurs panel so he won’t be close to it if a hose should rupture. Also of interest in the fittings compartment is the water fountain fitting. A short brass tube maybe 1/2 inch in diameter with a 90 degree elbow on the end. This can be attached to a discharge and be cracked open to provide a drinking fountain for fire fighters.

[@SkylerFire]

Yes thanks for the comment

[@bobby9065]

23 is not a third stage pumper. The white fitting is just a high pressure fitting

[@firemann57]

On this engine the only two discharges on the Officer's side are the blue and the black (which is 3" and used for high pressure). The white discharge is the 4-1/2 on the rear (adapted down to smaller diameters). This engine is equipped for pressures above 250psi when pumping into a building system using the red hose, but it is not a 3-Stage HP pump. Does not have the maroon 3rd stage HP 3" outlet on the rear and does not have the green 3rd stage HP 3" outlet on the OFF side.

[@robertmcsorley4001]

​@@firemann57I was gonna ask why the pump panel didn't have the 3rd gauge, which denotes the HP pump. But, you answered my question. 😂 Also, doesn't FDNY have as part of the apparatus city number HP following the number?

[@firemann57]

​@@robertmcsorley4001I think you're right - the 3-stage pumps do have an "HP" suffix added to the shop number.

As always a great look at one of FDNYs finest companies. Thanks for a great video tour.

Skyler, A High Pressure Engine is High Rise Standpipe pumper? The more high rise buildings in a neighborhood, then more HP Engines. When FDNY painted their engines red, you could pick out the HP engines, they had white cab tops! Great walk around! 👍👍👍

Not on my list sorry

[@_A-G_1.0]

Well done 👍 I am wondering 💭 why the empty seat 💺 is not being used. Is it because of the department’s budget or is it because of space in the interior? Will the FDNY have removal seats 💺 in the interior to carry more tools 🧰?

[@outhouse9451]

Can someone explain the hard suction for hydrants?

[@SkylerFire]

Hard Suction is a maneuverable 10 foot suction that can be used when the engine is parked ontop of the fire hydrant

[@alexkitner5356]

I dont believe that's what it is used for. I could be wrong but if you've ever tried to line up to connect any 2 fixed points with a hard sleeve its a massive pain and wouldn't make sense for getting the plug. If I had to guess, it could be for parallel pumping but its something I havent seen in a long time. The have the double female steamer adapter though which we stopped carrying since soft sleeve doesn't allow for it. When I went thru pump ops in the 90s we still practiced it and if you had an amazing plug you could connect the first engine to the plug and then the second engine to the opposite side steamer which meant any extra volume the first pump couldn't move would flow thru to the second engine. It was more realistic when you had single stage or lower volume pumps than now. A 2,000gpm pump will eat up up all but the best hydrants but when 750 or 1000 was normal parallel pumping was much more useful. It still doesn't make a lot of sense but could be an anachronism that they haven't ditched yet. We had the double female coupling for the steamer on one of ours until a year ago when it was pointed out that we run all soft sleeve that can't be used with a pressurized source.

[@jimfitz1432]

@@alexkitner5356 Nope that’s exactly what’s it used for. There’s several videos on here showing the engines hooked up to hydrants with their hard suctions.

[@chazman4461]

@@alexkitner5356 They use hard sleeves a lot of times when they think they will pump the hydrant to a point it will collapse soft sleeves. There are a bunch of pics of them doing this.
