Hate to break it you but firefighting in general is expensive. Even your average fire truck costs upwards of $600,000 these days. People want to complain about how expensive it is but then when something happens and someone dies everyone wants to bash our first responders. This was definitely needed
Uh, a fire engine (custom) is around 300-350K. A commercial chassis one will be 50-100K less. Ladders are around 750K to a million. This boat will probably serve for 40 years or more though.
They should have the best equipment instead of Commissioners, mayors, DAs, Governors, you know what I mean. It's more important than what desk you sit at in a municipal office.
not at all. if you consider that NYC is really more like a freaking independent state than a city. this is their first new fireboat on about 80 years, not to mention that NYC has almost more commercial/industrial shoreline than any other city, also consider that they have 2 or 3 fireboats of this size, where tokyo, the nearest comparable city has 9 mid-sized fireboats.
Looks like a really good investment. In general, we should invest more in Coastguard and Fire Brigade who are often underfinanced while the military has more cash than they can spend.
Rashad Agee only knew what you meant cause i visited the 9/11 memorial last week. RIP to all those first responders, volunteers and civilians that died that day
Three hundred forty three firefighters who died that day... They're still dying from the effects of the pile from their work they were doing for such a long time. God bless them all. RIP.
I love how people say this is not needed. the port of New York and New Jersey is the third largest port in the United States with over 5 million commercial vessels entering the port yearly. FDNY is responsible for fire and medical emergencies within the metropolitan area including the coast of New York and New Jersey. this ship is stationed in Staten Island and can be anywhere in the confines of New York City or New Jersey within a short period of time.
It is more like 60 thousand gallons! Yes there are only ( 4 ) 10,000 Gpm pumps but they plumed them with a daisy loop for the added benefit of extra gallon age per min.
George CIPRA I agree but in the video it appears he is referring to just one gun being capable of that. I wish I could could see the boat in action first hand .
Have all the electronics on this boat been hardened to prevent EMP damage ? If Not Why Not ? EMP will render this boat a pile of driftwood at most in a fire.
Wow no one ever thought of that. It really would've cost only 26 million, but they added the convenience package for another million (floor mats, Bose speakers and EMP protection).
I love first responders of every city. NYC's have a special place in everyone's heat.. But as a political nightmare Nyc needs to be cut off from upstate Ny.. How did we go from the patriotism of 2001 to the hatred of each other in 2019?? How did a people that want us dead get such a foot hold in our county?
50,000 gallons a minute on one gun did he say? That is 1192 barrel a minute and no one will get that rate through that size pipe. He is mistaken. Maybe that much through all eleven water guns.

Can't forget about the insane maintenance cost per year.

ffjsb when was the last time you looked at prices? 20 years ago?😂

joek0617 when the 80 years of grinding finally pays off 😎
If I had a nickel for every time he said “emergencies of tomorrow” I could but myself a boat just like it
i think my local fire fighters might have a row boat and 2 buckets >_>
Cypher791 lol.
2 buckets?!? Man, you guys have it good!
Cypher791 Jeez we would be lucky to have a floaty
Breen Whitman IKR!!
Cypher791 my department gives us life jackets and red Solo cups for water fires
Looks like a really good investment. In general, we should invest more in Coastguard and Fire Brigade who are often underfinanced while the military has more cash than they can spend.
I love how its called Three Forty Three. 343 never forget
Rashad Agee only knew what you meant cause i visited the 9/11 memorial last week. RIP to all those first responders, volunteers and civilians that died that day
It’s the amount of firefighters that died on 9/11 if anyone is wondering
Three hundred forty three firefighters who died that day... They're still dying from the effects of the pile from their work they were doing for such a long time. God bless them all. RIP.
1:33 "Fighter Fighters" LMFAO
Ryder lol
Ryder IKR LMFAO
You caught that too, my kids say the same thing when they say im a "Fighter Fighter"
Требуется боеприпасы 1:37*
Hugo yes that is a tool for vocabulary
In the firefighting business it's a lot better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
good OLE NY City-always has the best of all things!!!!....keep up the good work
To be fair nyc brings in a shit ton of tax money and there's people there that pay more than 27 mil in taxes a year
1 That's definitely not our dear President though.
gilbert martinez You can't exactly not pay taxes.
+Andrew De Jesus And most certainly not all those deadbeat libtards living in the projects.
@@literalantifaterrorist4673 lmao. Where have you been?
I’m ready to come out of retirement and do some shift work on this beauty. Nice boat!
Captaining (or working at) this kind of firefighting ship must be one of the coolest jobs in the world!
that boat was built here in panama city at eastern ship builder and they did a amazing job on it!!!!
it was designed in Canada
And deployed in the Middle,
😎
Was the boat sailed all the way to new york , or was it delievered by cargo ship
$27 mil is cheap in comparison to how much the city spends on sports
lol right
50,000 gallons per minute is insane!It would fill my pool in about 22 seconds!
Nice flex
......and we never were told about capacity of pump(s). Eleven 50K gpm cannons is serious flow. Even if designed to use only one at a time.
A remote-controlled system that lets them control systems remotely? What a revelation!
1:35, what the hell is a fighter fire?
Well, I would rather see taxpayer money being spent on this rather than going into DiBlasio’s pockets
That's a hell of a boat
but.. does it brew coffee?
H&NKinsha of course it doesn't lol
H&NKinsha it dose in the break room
Do it make a good slice?
I had a friend who help make this fire boat. I would love to see it in person. I wish Portland Oregon would get a new fire boat
Well all I can say is without seeing the ships log and call outs,...is nice boat....Sure hope the dollar to call out ratio is in line.
firefighters should have the best of the best.they do a great job.i am sure most agree
Shame! No mention of why she's named Three Forty Three!
Possibly after the 343 firefighters that died in 9/11?
CodenameHaswell I think he knew why, he was just upset that the news channel didn't mention it.
I worked at Eastern ship building and worked on this boat it's named in remembrance of the 343 fire fighters and cops that lost there lives on 9/11
343 FDNY
23 NYPD
37 Port Authority PD
Matt Tunis yup
Damn 2010!?
7 year old ship :D
More worth it then a fcking yacht
Very impressive.
Glad this guy is not a sales person, really sloppy data there.
No heated seats? Sad
Pretty sure the deck gun he was pointing at doesn’t put out 50,000 GPM..maybe he meant all deck guns combined.
thats not a fire boat thats a fire yacht
The pipes lasted 9 months
lmao "this is a big big nut to swallow"
i almost choked on my skittles when he said that
its confirmed, firemen
love nuts
omg stop right now
Jrufutufyifyi guy fugu guy cut cucuufitigiificififurutr7futf u7r7r7f6 fry fry 6r6f4uthff uyr uf7dud6fygyfyyyrs tdd
You cry when you don't need it but when you do you will be happy they have it!!!
"and this craft gives fighter fighters -"
Firefighters of tomorrow. Tech of tomorrow, tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow
It's only a day away.
the reporting of tomorrow
I expect the toilets in there to be state of the art as well. 😂
Rinse your rear with 50,000 gpm bidet.
it's like a mobile fire department
This is bigger than a coast guard cutter man
Has MTUs instead of CATs...interesting.
Noticed that MTU is gaining popularity here in the US, I'm a CAT man though Volvo Penta is looking good.
SO THIS IS WHERE MY FATHERS FUCKING TAXES ARE GOING TO...
Yeah to save the lives of others it's better than wasting it on stupid stuff for spoiled brats
Paul . Alexeyenko Probably won't hear you bitching when this thing comes to keep your shity little Manhattan apartment from burning down.
Its called a SCBA
Drinking game, take a shot every time he says tomorrow
“This is big big nut to swallow. Its alot” 1:20
Water on water cool!
that is very nice
Take a shot every time he says *technology* or *technology of tommorow*
Two uints with the same Number what are the odds of 9/11
A big step up from a rocket fuel pump mounted on a DUKW.
“Fighter fighter”
Want to see the 75k drone, expensive but cool as shit..
2:40 priorities during a fire lol
Wonder what new technology since 2010
Fucking love ny I'm gonna move there when I get older hopefully
This is a priority regardless of the price.
I love how people say this is not needed. the port of New York and New Jersey is the third largest port in the United States with over 5 million commercial vessels entering the port yearly. FDNY is responsible for fire and medical emergencies within the metropolitan area including the coast of New York and New Jersey. this ship is stationed in Staten Island and can be anywhere in the confines of New York City or New Jersey within a short period of time.
1:34 did he say "fighter fighters"?😂😂
first responder s deserve the best be safe
how many times did he say of tommorow
LOL my local fire dept has a zodiac boat
wow just wow
that is big F.D.N.Y. boat
wow cool stuff
big boy
Actually surprised it was only $27mil. There’s a lot of mechanical equipment and technology on her.
Seriously! I would think I’d be at least double that price considering it’s a 150ft ship stuffed with top notch equipment.
National security you say. Strange.
That Is Boss!
Good for coastal fire otherwise!
yea no, i live in wisconsin
Think you not correct about the 55 thousand gallons per minute pumping capacity. Please let me know.
It is more like 60 thousand gallons! Yes there are only ( 4 ) 10,000 Gpm pumps but they plumed them with a daisy loop for the added benefit of extra gallon age per min.
George CIPRA I agree but in the video it appears he is referring to just one gun being capable of that.
I wish I could could see the boat in action first hand .
I hope the boat doesn't catch fire.
How many times did he say Of today?
1:38 for fuck sakes
what the fuck is happening tomorrow.
Crew area looks very uncomfortable.
2010...Why was this recommended to me?
Did he say "fighter fighters" ?
Let me drive it
Ahhhh the old 360p
do they treat that as a station and keep it staffed?
Cody W it's probably docked relatively near a station and ready to go 24/7 so they can just jump on if needed
is the ffs for "for fuck sake!"?
LimitlessDeadline It's for when they say how much it costs 😂
How big is the booster tank?
1:34 *fighterfighters* ?
Have all the electronics on this boat been hardened to prevent EMP damage ? If Not Why Not ? EMP will render this boat a pile of driftwood at most in a fire.
The vehicles nowadays have too many electronics!
Do fire's generally produce EMPs?
They do not.
Wow no one ever thought of that. It really would've cost only 26 million, but they added the convenience package for another million (floor mats, Bose speakers and EMP protection).
What is the storage capacity of the water tank? At 50k gallons per minute per one pump it needs to be pretty damn big.
Just guessing here, but I would say this boat is floating in its water tank.
Yeah, the Hudson River is a pretty big tank
Ummmm.....It draws the water from the...ummm...water it floats in.
Can't believe this was a serious question. There is a water tank BTW but it's drinking water for the crew.
As it sprays fish and garbage all over then scene lmao jokes
what kind of fire happens in the ocean that you need something like that
There is a lot of uses for that boat
Not just for boats, but also for response to fires and emergency situations on any shoreline.
Mostly shoreline and pier fires, but a lot of container ships and cruise lines come and go from NYC.
I know why it's named Three Forty Three
I don't think they said "firefighters of tomorrow" or "space age" enough times. Better redo it.
I love first responders of every city. NYC's have a special place in everyone's heat.. But as a political nightmare Nyc needs to be cut off from upstate Ny.. How did we go from the patriotism of 2001 to the hatred of each other in 2019?? How did a people that want us dead get such a foot hold in our county?
But DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK??
50,000 gallons a minute on one gun did he say? That is 1192 barrel a minute and no one will get that rate through that size pipe. He is mistaken. Maybe that much through all eleven water guns.
1:34 ayyy FFS
FFS watergun..... for fu** sake fire!
Very nice 😊🙂😉☺😎😏☺
Rob Cordroy doesn't look well, and he's become too impressionable
So why couldn't we see it in action? I would've liked to see those water cannons shooting water.
1:34 he said fighterfighters Hahaha
