Great video. Working for a fire marshal’s office, this would make a great scene response vehicle. I absolutely agree with the empty compartments leaving space for extra gear depending on the time of year or type of emergency. Outstanding, great job.

Your videos and commentary are great! Can you maybe show FDNY EMS some love, too? Would like to see you go through a Rescue Medics truck and ambulance, a HazTac ambulance, and the MERV and MRTU if you are willing and able. I look forward to Fleet Fridays! Thanks so much for taking the time to showcase the FDNY!

Another great "Fleet Friday". I grew up in Astoria, and for the life of me I don't know why " Welfare Island" is part of Manhattan. The only road in and out is via Astoria. Engine 260 is the closest company, and it's covered by the 114th precinct. I remember when the FDNY training school was on Welfare Island. Many happy adventures happened on that little sliver of rock in the East River.

Thank you so much 😊❤😊 my Fleet Friday Friend 😊. I love the pullout tray table on back. That should be on all rigs with the space on back of rigs behind that is probably just frames of Rigs. Having a table outside is better than in cabs. On a Battalion Chiefs Rig in Seattle that runs out of Ballard, has same work/ Drawing try on back of his rig. My Friend just started working as Batt. Chief and showed me his vehicle. He told me he has to start driving again, he has been Officer for years, and not driven. I want to do a walk around of my 1971 SeaGrave engine just like you do, so I can do my own 😊 Personal Fleet Friday just for you. You are amazing showing all the great Equipment FDNY puts on there Rigs. People need to see all the special equipment NEW York FD carriers.😊😊😊😊

Great video. Not throwing shade but I was surprised by how much unused storage there was on this rig during the tour. The fact is was a prior EMS unit can go a long way to explain that but it just seemed odd. Thanks to Skyler for posting this!

Rescue Battalion & Aide do day to day staffing for All 5 Rescues, 8 Squads, 2 TSUs, Rebreather, Dewatering, Rescue Logistics, Compressor, Roosevelt Island Staffing. Companies do not report to regular battalions. Hazmat and the 4 HMTU Engines report to Hazmat Battalion Marine Units report to Marine Battalion

who are the firefighters/drivers of the types of support vehicles in FDNY such as rescue operations battalion, logistics trucks, axel and others that you show in your videos from the fleet friday series. Are these firefighters who served in engine and ladder companies and are transferred to such positions, or do they transfer themselves wanting to work in a quiet position?

Lots of extra space on that unit, guessing with most if not all the equipment being carried on the Rescue's themselves and their support Rescue Ops units as well as the other specialty companies under the RB's command there is not a lot of reason to fill the truck up.
