[Ride along] FDNY Battalion chief 10 + Engine 22 + Tower ladder 13

ride along with the FDNY 10th battalion in Manhattan to a hazmat call - by Dirk Steinhardt - www.rescue911.de - New York City, New York, USA - January 2007

[@WolfieRich1]

I'm impressed with the Batallion Chief here, calmly guiding the driver through a tightass gap and keeping ontop of the paperwork and radio at the same time

[@JeffrevinYT]

"GET OFF DA HYDRANT. LET'S GO. GET OFF DA HYDRANT." Oh, how I love our fire department so.

[@brianfernandez1642]

ang

[@NixNix-ch7ow]

With all the traffic in New York, I'm surprised these guys can get to ANY emergency in time.

[@AremisHD]

look at this boss drivin with one hand working the sirens hahahaha all while drinking coffee

[@kkeewiinn2]

Those truck drivers have to be some of the greatest in the world.

[@TwoStrike77]

I'm a Junior Firefighter in SC, I commend yall guys in NY for what yall do. I couldn't imagine going through what yall do on a daily basis! God Bless you guys! Great Video!

[@thevideoguyalhs]

i love how you cleared that hydrant. had me laughing for a while

[@WRXDEASCENTER]

Good Work FDNY We Will Always Thank You... Thank You For Saving Peoples Lives Even ARE Lives... I Hope You Guys.... Get a Celebration!!!

[@Gamezelda]

First time I've seen a ride along with FDNY, very interesting.

[@mattzarphotovideo-4258]

It’s surprising how much technology had advanced in the past 10 years but the looks of the rigs, for the most part, looks the same.

[@northfloridafire]

That's because most of the rigs are Seagrave and most Seagrave rigs look the same

[@nerdlydood]

The ones in back are a Whelen Hi-Rise - they flip up to a vertical orientation and provide very tall warning to be seen for a long distance over traffic.

[@KillingBee20]

got to love the New York sirens *-*

[@72HoursFishing]

Maneuvering these trucks looks like he'll in NYC

[@TheIntroShow]

wauw the quality.......its uploaded 8 years ago and the quality is perfect!

[@valerija.legasov548]

That is super video, thanks You for sharing! I am a member of theVoluntary Firefighter brigade and even honorary member of our response unit. Why honorary? Unfortunately, I went blind, when I was 15. I have been loving firefighting, firefighters, fire truck since my childhood. BTW, my movie no. 1 is Tower inferno. I closed great friendship with great men from this firebrigade few months ago. My chieff asked to others, they agreed and Vaclav (chieff of response unit) called me and tould: "Heeey, there is NO problem to join our brigade, You are also honorary member of our unit!" I could not believe my own ears! 100 % impossible, 100 % mirracle! I would never have believed that I could be so lucky! I am sure, that was simply will of our Lord, that this situation happened! I am focused to the service called Protection of the population, civil defense, which includes a huge range of activities that I can do with my handicap. I love these videos with firefighting, fire trucks firemen etc. Respect, love and greetings from Prague, stay safe and be healthy!

[@Kopihucky]

Get OFF the hydrant! Let's Go! Move off the hydrant!

[@MassHighway23]

whenever i need a good laugh i just listen to him telling the truck to get off the hydrant:)

[@nick2293]

Either one can control the siren. I know me personally, if I'm in the passenger seat, I'll work the siren so that the driver can focus on the road.

[@megadethrocks1]

Some siren controls are also built into the steering wheels or foot pedals on the floor. With Type 3 Medium pumpers in Vic you can press a switch with your foot to change from yelp to wail, and on some supports you press the horn and it changes the siren tone as well as activating the horn.

[@pizzasubs]

Great vide, just like always, but am a little surprised that you guys actually numbered that bucket truck #13, guess you guys dont think tha't an unlucky number for you, really love it when you told that cube truck to move away from the Hydrent, I remember when I saw pics one time of a car that was parked in front of one at he fireman couldn't find the owner, so they literly put the hose straight through the drivers side window and out the passenger side window to the hydrent...

[@LiamPattisonPhotography]

Honestly if you are able to drive down the streets of NYC you are able to drive anywhere in North America. NYC traffic and the actual size of the streets is just awful.

[@inventorchris2]

That why I like living in the suburbans closer to corn. We have a full-time fire department that could travel the same distance in half the time

[@Brothersinarms01]

It's not the safest, but in many departments, the siren control heads are built so that they are only accessible to the driver. In most cases, the siren is built in the middle of the cab so that either can work siren. Driver usually works srien in small departments. When I ride officer's seat, I work the siren usually unless a ranking officer is driving and tells me that they want to work siren.

[@extraglutenplz3758]

love the old diesel ford excursions

[@rdh72]

Love the chief saying where ya going??

[@jsuds12]

"come to me come to me come to me" SMASH - Jimmy you didnt come to me enough!

[@matbailey8]

great video in Australia fire commanders drive them self to jobs but would be great having a chauffeur keep up the good work fdny.

[@714cyjr]

Some fire department deputy chief have an aide driving so they are in communication with dispatch

[@drunkpolice]

Yes. And for this one, its also programmed on the Driving Wheel Horn. Left May be a Siren Choice 1 and Right side may be Siren Choice 2 and Middle is Horn/Air Horn.

[@MightyJKnutsen]

I love ride-alongs, I subbed :D

[@PowellShiau]

its geared towards the driver, but the passenger can reach over to control if necessary

[@Wesleytjuh1234]

I love it at the start of the video, where the caption comes out all relaxed with coffee in his hand :p

[@futurehero11]

Two questions.1 st question what type of appuratus was that paralled parked with battalion 10 and next question why at the end of the vid was half of the screen covered?????????

[@Alan10018]

Great video! The FDNY has nice fire trucks!

[@firemedic916]

The ladder can be newer or older than the engine.

[@radioxdeath]

I got to say they got some damn good drivers that is a whole hell of a lot of apparatus to be movin thru tight areas!!! 5*

[@ShadowDragon246]

my guess is to keep faces out of the video who didn't want to plastard over youtube

[@policeblue999]

FOr some reason I always picture the chief as Danny Devito

[@jacobkeppler1984]

Awesome video

[@AirsoftSF]

Who ends up being the driver? Is it a firefighter that was assigned that position for the day?

[@nononopp4345]

I really like the part when the fire trucks just come out of nowhere and they meet up with the chief

[@Uprising3k]

worked in college station Texas and Angelina county. couldn't imagine driving in NY.

[@BumberenzoTrakNgBumbero]

Man! I was only 4 years old that time

[@888Moosi]

yeah real heroes. like that nice cars also^^ nice greetings from austria europe

[@HollywoodCaniche]

I am a firefighter from LA and am coming to NY this summer. I was hoping to get a ride along in while I was there. Where would be my best bet to try and ride out at? Any help would be appreciated.

[@sethbowman818]

the ladder truck horns seem louder than the engine hornes

[@Wilky575]

Nice view inside station. Will fdny let you do a ride along from the tillerman view? New York is notorious for double parking just like every other city.

[@xXLoneDroneXx1]

Usually the passenger has the siren and horn at his feet.

[@Doc_Hawk]

Just saying, I have a playlist of all the Bat 10 ride alongs just for that old school FDNY PA300 sirens, why they ever got rid of them is beyond me

[@RbD169Productions]

Doc Hawk They still have em. Not as used as they used to be by the bigger companies, but the trucks (and cars) are still outfitted with PA300s

[@killed_by_the_architect-829]

Who else is watching in 2019? Apparently 480p was the max res in 2007, lol.

[@reddogsix]

Whooaaaa....glad all our calls are out of the Cities and in the country....seemed like forever to get there!

[@themooseisontheloose]

ive heard that the fdny isnt allowing ride alongs anymore but i cannot confirm that i havent spoken to my fdny buddy in a while

[@thommy_kni]

Very cool vid!!! :) Wondering what kind of 'display' that is?!? And what means that 'ring ring' hearing all time?! :D Any further information?!?!

[@pupmartin8578]

Baddest fire department in the world I love it ..

[@bcemergencyclips8658]

Good job pretty good video!

[@fdny3526]

Engine 22 seen here is a 1997 Seagrave it did survive on September 11th 2001 just like Engine 44 Engine 3 Engine 39 Engine 40 Engine 206 Engine 16 Engine 23 Engine 225 Engine 68 Engine 226 Engine 257 Engine 88 and Engine 253. Ladder 13 is a 2000 Seagrave TL 95’ aerialscope and it survived with Ladder 22 Ladder Ladder 157 Ladder 53 and further more

[@PlanesTrainsAutos]

If they made the traffic exactly the same on GTA 4 people would give up on playing it because they wouldn't be able to drive..

[@longcut93]

is the chief from the city? lol. heaviest NYC accent. how did you get the ride along?

[@Keeskroket12]

I love that i like that fire trucks . nice movie

[@rhinebckfirefighter]

I remember going to this house

[@MrJakemoffitt]

@drunkpolice you might be right but i think your also wrong because you can hear a sound right before the siren goes off, its a click sound its a footpedal

[@PingByter]

driver usually. In rare cases the passenger (sorry for responding a year late)

[@Ramseylove]

Nice Great work

[@casmatori]

Look at all the cars double parked with their "magic blinkers" on...

[@firepower782]

Bull. I've seen videos of the London Fire Brigade they don't go any faster. Traffic dictates speed and if you're department is running around at 60 mph you have no traffic.

[@F1r3GamingHD]

Because it only make sense that it goes down from sections like... lower manhattan from duane st covering battery park and lower and some parts of chinatown... then battalion 2 covers the other west side... battalion 4 covers the lower east side... and not battalion 10 covering battalion 1's side... and where else are they going to stuff battalion 10.. no other vehicle could park inside 10 house.

[@charleshunziker7416]

The parking situation is brutal

[@thatonenigeriansformula]

How do they control the siren , is it foot operated

[@themooseisontheloose]

holy cray the driver for batt 10 can drive i wouldnt have attempted to get my car past that truck at 2:25

[@jonowee]

Tinny tiny little "Keep back 200 feet" sign on the back of the ladder truck, I am pretty sure we have to be within 200 feet in order to read that sign.

[@daws_onthefly]

Their accents ahahaha

[@porcusdiu]

Excuse me Sir, 2:35 ---> model Tablet PC is... ? Thanks in advance. :)

[@porcusdiu]

AUhAUhauha! Yes yes yes... Driver of the van was sleeping at least THREE hours... AHuaHuaha! :-D

[@Kangston169]

Can someone help me out, im a fireman in south Louisiana, our chiefs here run in a Tahoe loaded out like state police and bein such they have the full police package, lower suspenion, 150mph, etc. and when i watch these videos FDNY has excursions and 3 light bars with 2 ontop of each other......whats the reason?

[@metalbornmetalbred]

God bless FDNY!!! True heroes!!!

[@braduh1]

What do you have to do to get to ride along with these guys?

[@Cutelilbabygurl03]

nice vid!!!

[@airbus214airplane]

I hate when people quote shit that we just heard.

[@Wilky575]

They could park it outside, ive seen vids of that station responding with what looks like a battalion rig outside the station parked next to the curb.

[@casams1992]

MDborn&Raised they rotate out crew members off the rigs each tour someone's job is chauffeur then next tour they go back to the truck or engine and someone else takes a turn so on and so forth

[@MrJakemoffitt]

is the driver of the battalion chief the chief or is the passenger the chief

[@EstonianRescueServices]

I have a question : who's changing the siren?:D

[@jdas2727]

Are you thinking of a superhero type.

[@wannabenj]

@hollywoodsix BTW great video.Not sure why there are 9 dislikes.

[@oskar09pickle]

i think driving a tower ladder is a challenge but then who doesnt like challenges..:D

[@mOviestarthw12]

Wie machst du das immer dass du da mitfahren darfst?

[@AirwaysProductionsTV]

keep hittin 9 :D LMFAO what an awsome chief!!

[@evolover999]

@MrGta4expert its blocking the passangers face i belive?

[@oto24680]

im not trying to anoy u or anything but what are you talking about? im just curios

[@seserbcp]

Do u have a ride with the NYPD like this?

[@SuperJuli96]

I LOVE NY!!!

[@mixtaperadio]

the ringing u hear is the updated info on the mdt (the computer u see in the batty chiefs rig

[@NapkinEdStern]

king of the road. king of the hose.

[@nmcarpenter]

Motorola MW-520. Old systems, but still very functional (Usually running Win 95 or 98)

[@fdny3526]

Not only they ran Windows 95 or Windows 98 but also Windows XP

[@youmadethereboresph]

Man that would suck with that traffic!

[@jackietobie5001]

They ought to make double parking in NYC a misdemeanor, with an automatic tow/impound of the vehicle, mandatory arrest of the driver, and a $1000 fine

[@twinboysfire52]

wow nice video

[@51ENGINE51]

what type of air horns does the FDNY use

[@mastergammor1alt429]

2009...

[@F1r3GamingHD]

how did chief knew it was a 10-80 no code when no guys transmitted anything?

[@porcusdiu]

Oh, THANKS for Your answer. :) I have a similar model... my model is: "Tablet Fujitsu Stylistic 3400" with Windows 98. The American means are Super-Technology! I LOVE USA... In my State (ITALY) the means is.. OMG.. *_* have only the wheels...
