Billy Walsh was quartered here in 2002 when he was both an actor and real FDNY fireman in Sesame Street Elmo Visits The Firehouse which aired on February 4th 2002
And that unfortunately features the overly cliché LAFD spec Unitrol 800 siren be used (via Post Production instead of a PA300) that was first used in Superman 2.... in 1980!
FDNY ordered 10 Mack CF and one American LaFrance painted yellow/green for an experiment for seeing the trucks better, but everyone liked the red better
Thank you for uploading and sharing. I recognize many of these faces even all these years later as my father spent nearly his whole career at E58. I have fond memories of great Christmas parties and times spent climbing the green machine, and the engines after.
Excellent stuff! I really can't thank you enough for uploading all these videos! They are such a great look into the amazing history of the FDNY! -andrew
@nytmstr not saying that it does minimize or trivialize the work they used to do past or present. FDNY is one of the hardest working dept's around and deserve all the respect in the world from everyone. My 7 y/o son wants to grow up and get hired on the job with FDNY. He even has a 58/26 patch hanging up in his room!
@@chiefrich1804 I'm from New Britain CT, they tried the same thing around the same time period, it wasn't a big hit. I know I didn't care for it. Thank you for your service! God Bless!
FDNY was part of the fire service trend in the 1970's to make fire trucks more "highly visible" by using different colors, but as time went by it turns out that having more strobes lights made trucks more visible.
Stop cryin looking for spotlights and do your damn job! Both professions are necessary and respected! Your statement is a small window into the beginning of your issues! Be safe!!
You're really mistaken. First of all I don't think they get a hour break, they get a break when ever they can get one, sometimes they're so busy they don't have no time for one and who ever said it was an hour. Second of all when has anyone ever seen a fire engine at a McDonald's? Fireman are some of the best cooks. Really disrespectful comment! God Bless!

Why do lawyers earn more than these people ?
@nytmstr do they not see that much fire anymore? Or run that much anymore?
seen that green truck ,different , but cool.
Sometimes I ask, is a Fire Company simply bunker gear and firetrucks or is it the men and women who are inside that gear and the trucks
What is the original address for Eng 58s house?
nevermind that Q was just answered in the video
it was a pilot program. i believe they outfitted 10 companies all over the city.
It was 11. I know squad 41 was one of em. And Engine 85 (disbanded) was one of em. And Engine 10 was one of them also
Old nice rig
The Former Engine 58 Sta. is at 81 W. 115th St.
It hasn't been demolished?
Not that I’m aware of.
I couldn’t live in NewYork
Why no Green Machine?
What part of NYC??
Greg Parr good guy!
never heard of mew york where is that? lol
116th and 117th st? wrong!
why is there engine yellow? thats the only yellow FDNY rig i've ever seen
There were about 6 trucks in the FDNY that were painted lime or "slime" green in the 1970's 1980's
If u watch the fucking video u wouldn’t have this Question

Omg yellow trucks
Ohhh were from jersey lmaooooo
Why is that engine yellow
FDNY was doing a trial run with new paint schemes. Clearly didn't stick lol

Boy those rigs are ugly. But a good ugly. Great video!!
luv2fly 6/7 of our rigs are that green. out tanker is red because it was bought used.
Joe Cancellare,,,
f d n y threw the Police under the bus...call the firemen when someone is shooting a gun in your hallway.yeah..ok..theyre making a gourmet meal..
Stop cryin looking for spotlights and do your damn job! Both professions are necessary and respected! Your statement is a small window into the beginning of your issues! Be safe!!
ride around in the fire truck and eat fast food for your one hour meal break..then tell me how GREAT the fire dept is..yeah...probably not that great
Francis Sullivan lolll idk are you FDNY?? Bc I think your sorely mistaken
Sounds like a bitter cop that always wanted to be a fireman. Let it go man and enjoy your job.
skigore69 lmaooo... and I bet they didn’t watch the kitchen scene loll
Francis Sullivan Sounds like the wrong city agency had the "green" vehicles....
