That is a lot of responsibility for 2 people to cover the whole city. Great job in covering this!

[@SkylerFire]

So for a Accident Investigation they will call in other safety members to assist.

[@stevesulligan1080]

That’s what I thought too. Be a busy unit

[@Moose6340]

Wow. They really rolled out the red carpet (OK, the red truck) for you! I did not know all the stuff that they called Safety Battalion out for, and boy is that truck kitted out. That's a full accident investigation setup any police department in the country would be proud to have. Thanks to you for this awesome video and the FDNY for the access.

Awesome job! I love learning about the different/special units. I know it probably seems boring, but as an engine guy myself I would love to see their engine setup. I've seen some videos, but none that go in depth like yours. Keep up the good work

[@SkylerFire]

Working on doing a Engine Company soon. They all vary with the amount of equipment and some carry more hose

[@an33k019]

Love the fleet fridays. Keep them coming!

Thank you. Great job.

[@aaronjohnson2843]

Do not know of any other U.S.fire department that has a dedicated battalion for this purpose.Thanks for another excellent Fleet Friday, Skyler.

[@RonCham]

Boston FD. H-1, Safety Chief

[@SkylerFire]

Your welcome!

[@trob0914]

@aaronjohnson2843; Most major city departments have dedicated Safety Officers. They may not be actual chiefs( very senior officers), but they control all safety aspects, oversight and full safety authority on fire and other major incidents! I know a 35+ year veteran (Very senior) “Safety” officer in WA state(large city) and I believe the department has 3 “Safety” positions! FDNY just have had years to establish and perfect jobs titles, changes have obviously been made since “9/11”!!🇺🇸

[@Samanthareneeheart10]

Thanks Skyler! You are givingbus tours that most of us will never get as we are so far away from NY. SO TY for letting US (your viewers) in on these spitucaular units? Whats next on the list Rescue Batalion? 😊

Im suprised they dont have 2 safety battalions staffed all the time.

[@shawnganser8423]

You mentioned the Marine Battalion is also there. Do they run out of a pick up as well or on a boat?

[@SkylerFire]

They run out of a Boat with 2 FFs and a BC… I have a short video coming soon on that.

[@socalfirebuff91377]

Does the technician drive it? Also is you talking a voice over? I have kinda noticed it but haven’t been 100% sure yet.

[@SkylerFire]

Yes the Tech drives. No chiefs drive themself only staff chiefs driving from home. And yes

[@RedHat2023]

I'm suprised they didn't hook up the multi-level light bar from McDermott Lihht and Signal to the FedSig controller like the NYPD highway units. They could have programmed the button to flash when they are up.

[@SkylerFire]

I believe it does.

[@RedHat2023]

@@SkylerFire There is a smaller whelen surface mount next to the riser button that I assume does, but what I mean is they could have connected the risers up to a button on the fedsig controller rather than using a different button like what the NYPD has done.

[@SkylerFire]

@@RedHat2023 ah ok

[@chrisnorden8043]

Great trunk system. " OUT OF RANGE" showing on both. That's why I'm a fan of the old legacy. It's 2024 and the FDNY sticks with the voter system.

[@SkylerFire]

Ok

[@willlewis2207]

I've noticed that some of your rigs have phones in them , what are they used for ?

[@SkylerFire]

That’s how they talk on the radio in the rigs

[@dcentral]

So Safety Battalion primarily conduct investigations? Strange that this responsibility is not allocated to Fire Marshals.

[@SkylerFire]

I believe Fire Marshals do work with them. Let me check on that

[@vincentemo-FDNY]

Hello, I am a firefighter in France and I am coming to New York in September of this year. I wanted to know if I could visit this barracks and if you have contacts to make an appointment please?

Is there a link to anything that explains how the total station works?

[@SkylerFire]

Search Total Station Accident scene on KZbin you will get a result. I couldn’t show anything due to all they have is accidents involving FDNY vehicles
