FDNY Rescue-3 1992

[@erichhitchcock3368]

Hartford used that same Mack as Tac1 years back, and it remained a spare for years after. Love those things....so majestic going through the streets. Newer pieces don't seem to have that "Umph," and to listen to a real siren is so nice. Love these older videos, back when they used their ears as a thermometer to feel if they needed to back out.

The year I'd ridden on R2. Awesome times. Never forget.

[@R1SmokeEater]

Your stuff always great Ben! Have you been back since?

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

@@R1SmokeEater My last Big Apple visit was in 2014. I've had planned to visit Conexpo in Las Vegas, than CA, than NYC and last but not least Detroit in March 2020. But I was warned by the Corona outbreak and didn't make that big trip. Now I'm waiting for better times to come back. How are you and especially in those times?

[@owensweetland342]

And the guys that rode in that beautiful rig were as tough as nails. What a gorgeous building. Look at that artwork then look at the new quarters. Oh the stories that firehouse could tell.

[@petertomasicchiosr.7230]

Geat video! Worked 32 Pct patrol 91-97, Had the Zoo and the Hilton, great guys, this Rig was always down by that way. Excellent video!

[@Eric-sn4qz]

Nice. Worked in the 26 during the 90’s. Spent many days with 37Eng/40 Truck. Another group of great guys. Always a invite for breakfast or lunch. Many times caught Rescue in the Area on a run.

[@petertomasicchiosr.7230]

@@Eric-sn4qz True, another great house down on 125, and right the hospitality those guys showed was beyond words, sure it is still today

[@Eric-sn4qz]

@@petertomasicchiosr.7230 As a rookie my first footpost was right by the firehouse. Needless to say the Brothers took me in as it was freezing out. That started a wonderful relationship with them. Once I hit patrol we stopped by for breakfast or lunch. Many softball games between us and them over the years. Xmas parties etc Unfortunately 9/11 put the brakes on things. But a wonderful group of guys.

I gotta love those old school FDNY Mack MR trucks! R.I.P. some of FDNY FF died on 9/11 🇺🇸🗽👨‍🚒

[@alexandermakrianis]

Awesome video and awesome footage! I especially liked the shots as they were responding down the highway. Thanks for sharing.

[@rickk.2912]

Is it me, or, are those rigs really loud. The other thing i noticed, their tournout pants! Looks a lot like regurlar pants. Yes, i know it went from regular pants to the hip boots, then to tournout pants. Watched a youger fireman catch fire with hip boots on. Put a ladder up over a window, and the window blew out, fire road the wall up, till his pants caught fire. Never saw anyone come down faster yet! Oh, he was ok, a little singed around the nether region, but i doubt he'd ever make that mistake again!!!.....

I used to go to this firehouse back when I was a kid and it was great

[@KevlarVTX]

Now that's some fantastic footage.

Love the Mack trucks!

[@owensweetland342]

MC Mack. Garbage truck chassis. Very durable.

[@WK-fk8mt]

That’s really fantastic

[@glenpower1677]

Love the Mack MR series trucks.

[@owensweetland342]

Curious, how does one distinguish a MR from a MC?

[@firebuffandrewphotography]

I think the MR is a little newer

[@BrickfordCityFire]

This is so cool!!!

[@unclejimjt]

When i turn down my volume all the way i can still hear

[@NotAFirefighter1]

Imagine that truck is only 4 years old

[@MrRandom750]

How we forget how things have changed, how those halogen bars power draw was so high the bars moved so slow before it was started. But you could never beat a mac

[@erichhitchcock3368]

Where I work in West Hartford,CT is a medical facility that the FD is constantly called to. The first-due rig to my building is a quint..Ladder 4, they recently took delivery of. Looking out the 4th floor window toward the entrance road was when I first saw it, and it was fitted with a "roto-ray"...that was what first caught my eye through the trees as it came up the hill; of course now it's all LED, but it's nice that they brought those back.

[@firevike2420]

Old school… NICE!

[@TidyBananas]

I do believe that is a Mack MC cab.

So wtf? They ran Qs then and nobody complained about the "noise". Now they can't. Sounds like b.s. to me.

[@cat740dt]

to be fair, Qs are very loud bouncing off buildings all around you and there’s more people in NY now than there was in 92. I do agree though, it is nonsense and the politicians have gotten so soft about this kind of stuff

When I see these guys climbing ladders to get inside a burning building to fight the fire and rescue people, the question I have is do women firefighters do this same stuff nowadays? I have not seen women firefighters doing this. Please someone share their experience.
