FDNY Tower Ladder 35 Testing a 95 Footer Tower Ladder Spare Responding & Returning with Engine 40

FDNY Tower Ladder 35 Testing out a 95 Footer Tower Ladder….. which they might get a new one in a year

Man those Grovers sound like...like...thunder in those canyon sts🔊🔊👍

[@seqemergencyvehicles]

great catch, how long do you normally wait at FDNY stations (on average) for a callout ?

[@SkylerFire]

All depends on the day. Weekends tend to be slower because no one is here

[@doug9066]

I enjoy videos like these from your city, especially with all the narrow streets & with the fire stations on busy streets. Thank you for sharing!

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks for watching

Hummmm A spare already? I just watched a video you posted a WEEK ago of a brandy dandy new one with the REAL Q and yelp sirens going out. I also thought I saw a video or two on Johns channel.

[@SkylerFire]

Well Dave if you read the title it says testing! Lol they are testing one out and might be getting a new one.

[@FDNY8231]

@@SkylerFire I DID read the title, but what you're saying is they had a loaner "NEW" one that was all decked out in their logo's and boards just to try it out. I can understand that, but I wouldn't have given it back. LOL 😜

[@SkylerFire]

That’s why it’s on the company and they are not suppose to do that. It’s not 100% they are getting it yet!

[@FDNY8231]

@@SkylerFire Oh well sparedom isn't too too bad with a PA300, no warbler and an awesome air horn. 👍

[@BergdisNorth]

Awesome to see that ST01007 is still alive and kicking!

[@SkylerFire]

Yup

[@82_engine96]

now retired but saved and finally paired with 33 again

[@vitaliyfdny8238]

Nice catch, love the old 95’ spare!

[@SkylerFire]

Yeah

[@EmergencyGuy]

This was Ladder 9, a ‘99 Seagrave whose original cab from 1999 was burned beyond repair. She returned to quarters mere months after the disaster. Her serial number is ST0107, but her original serial number was ST99006. Her cab’s from ‘01. At the time of the disaster, she was with Engine 33, and old 33 is 513 nowadays. 513’s a ‘98.

[@GamingWithLenox]

This one is ST01007.

[@markweaver1932]

I can't believe it, traffic actually stopped and let the guys out.

[@SkylerFire]

Very rare

[@firefighter625]

America's becoming humble and respectful once again 😌

[@Dragonballguy270]

always wondered why they don’t have more 95 footers in the city

[@SkylerFire]

They are just so big and hard to get down some streets

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

@@SkylerFire although not an option for being too un-American ... well maybe it would be an idea to use more compact apparatus, all-wheel steering, with less compartments and less equipment on board, different layout (no mid-mount), then it would be way easier to get into some tight spaces

[@Eric-sn4qz]

I believe its size requirements. Some houses are close to 100 plus years old

[@zevpost1]

When 95 foot Aerialscopes first came out in the 1980s they initially intended to replace the fleet with 95 footers however due to size and weight restrictions in quite a few of the houses plus on some the streets as well they decided to only convert 15 Tower Ladders into 35 footers. Before they decided to get the 95 foot Aerialscopes they also tried out 2 Sutphen Tower Ladders and 2 American La/France /LTI Tower Ladders which were the only rear mounted Tower Ladders that FDNY ever tried in addition 2 95 foot Mack/Aerialscopes Aerialscopes. After the 95 foot Tower Ladder trials they ultimately decided to purchase 15 95 foor Aerialscopes.

[@zevpost1]

Correction. On 3rd Line of the first paragraph the number 35 was meant to be a 95 as in "95 footer". That was a typo.

[@kjack61]

The guys are not wanting a 95 foot due to tight streets

[@SkylerFire]

Tell that to TL9 who prob has the hardest time with there’s

[@Upesoes]

[@that_weirdguy_who_playsbas1567]

Great catch! How come Ladder 35 is getting a new rig next year when their current one is brand new?

[@SkylerFire]

They are getting a 95 footer

[@that_weirdguy_who_playsbas1567]

How come they got a 75 foot this year if they’re just going to switch to a 95 next year?

[@SkylerFire]

@@that_weirdguy_who_playsbas1567 because the higher ups want a 95 footer in that area.

[@ticky2586]

Wait so how do pa 300 sirens work, do they press a button and it makes that single Wail siren ?

[@SkylerFire]

That’s the Manuel, it has Yelp and Hi Low which they don’t use often

[@ticky2586]

@@SkylerFire ooh ok

[@RS_T]

Do you know why they didn’t test this out before they spent the money on a new one just to possibly replace it a year later?

[@SkylerFire]

New COD. Wasn’t in the plans. The TL35 current will just get cleaned up and go to someone else or make it a CTS rig

Very cool

Thanks

[@Dinothedinosaur-dv8ix]

Why are there some towers shorter and some long for example Tower 58 compared to tower 111

[@SkylerFire]

Because a 95 foot tower ladder is longer so can be harder to get around for tight streets. And where the tall buildings they would need a 95 and not a 75

[@Dinothedinosaur-dv8ix]

I honestly like the 75 foot more

[@somedreybloke]

Did that spare respond to the WTC on September 11th?

[@SkylerFire]

No idea….

[@iwillstareintoyoursoul9762]

Yeah. In fact, the ladder boom of the rig is all pre-9/11. The original cab and chassis was destroyed that time, so they had to remount a new one.

[@Eginhardt]

That spare must of used to be ladder 163

[@SkylerFire]

Yup

[@iwillstareintoyoursoul9762]

Yeah, she was with Ladder 163 3 years ago. I lived close enough to see and hear her.

[@armadillerff]

If this is a 95’, how long was the newer one?

[@SkylerFire]

75 footer

[@Jacob-mm8xq]

I feel like 35 is due for an upgrade

[@SkylerFire]

Well they have a brand new 75 footer already

That's a brand new truck and they're using a spare already?
