I was a Brooklyn fireman in a nearby company back then 214-111 Great house ! This video brings back memories of responding and operating at fires What a great job !
+Benjamin Beytekin yes sir....indeed they are.....that morning would be the last of what we once new....on a lighter note I wish you well and I as I'm sure others are, are appreciative of what you share with these old school videos. Have a great day
Love the old American LeFrance! Our local fire department got a new 1978 LeFrance when my dad was a full time fire fighter. They bought a new 79 the next year. Both trucks are still active to this day responding to fires!!!!!
That's quite a good Video and also bloody good driving, you USA guys talking about open fire trucks, NZ was still using some of those trucks in the main big towns back during the 1950-60, and late 70s the smaller country towns where still using them, they use to lose guys off them going to fires sometimes. You could go quite fast with those machine because the had no water tanks in them, a old fireman was telling me about driving one of those machines along a country road beside a railway line, they were fighting a grass fire's, it was mid summertime near the town of Palmerston in the South Island December !975, the ground was very dry indeed. He told me that they had decided to try and cut this fire off where it cross the road which was about four miles ahead of them, he was driving this open fire truck. It had a V-8 petrol Ford motor in it, he said he had his foot hard on the floor, and he had it up to 70mph, the guys were holding on as if their lives depended on it, and they watched the bloody fire, which was racing down the railway line go pass them, and intern it leaped across the road ahead of them, they could not believe it, they said grass fires are just a nightmare to fight as they create a wind and draw up the oxygen.
Man when I saw that mailtruck at around 2:33-2:34 I really never knew they actually started using those way back in the early 90's cause even as of today, we are still using those same ones....
No, I'm a ( now retired) German firefighter and press photographer who produced a video film about FDNY and the former NYC EMS in the mid and late 90's.
No vids but I was on the scene of a multiple fire in Hoboken so I've some pics from there. Will make a slide show vid for RUclips by time. I was never in your county. Think closest was Summit or Newark.
FF's got only ONE set of clothes. All other stuff they have to buy from their own budget! There was a FDNY store only for official use. That's a shame!
Even though I hadn't been born yet when this 10-75 at the Laundromat came in for FDNY, I've actually been to the big apple. The buildings there are bigger than the buildings in my hometown! That's for sure!
i think this was a fire that took place in 1992, i believe they just got a new ladder 111. and my uncle and dad used to ride with them, and the storys that have been told about this company :)
These are the kinds of trucks my dad use to ride in when he used to be a fireman long time ago, riding on the back was the funnest part he told me, now the quest is, did these open cab trucks back then did or did not have a top for the cab in case of inclimate weather, if not, bet riding in the truck during a rainstorm was a lot of fun....LOL
@@BeytekinConstructionMachinery one of the things I learned growing up in Brooklyn 50+ years ago, don’t rat people out. I just met him, I adopt certain groups of people at the pantry I help out at. ( meaning I cater to what they need and help them out. Have a family of 5 kids, a wife and kids with a active military person serving, and the elderly who retired. Respect is first in my book, I really can’t hear anymore about 22 years ago unless it’s given without asking. I’m just another Brooklyn native hanging out with someone who knows more than me. Thanks
Great footage my brothers, I know there is no world outside of USA and New York is the centre of the world, but could you let the rest of us Aliens ( including Brother FFs ) what a 10-75 is. Lolol.
Very nice video indeed back when nyc was nyc, question that block you went riding down 2:04 did you happen to spot a burgundy Plymouth Acclaim car parked on that block that day? my parents had that car then and we lived on that block from 1991-2017
@BeytekinConstructionMachinery I now live in Delaware. Yes, I did thank u so much. It's funny that I was a month old when this was filmed. I was born in June of 1992. things were so much better than the cost of living was reasonable, cars and trucks were better, movies were better, cartoons were better, oh man, what I would do to relive those again
Old school may look cool but when you get lung cancer because you didn't put you mask on and breath the FREE AIR you'll look back and think that was silly of me. (10 years on the job and still putting on my mask even for a dumpster fire). play safe.
That sound comes from the flasher units that alternate the loads for emergency lights. These Bimetallic Strip flashers use heat energy and lots of Amps to operate. They make the lights flash but at a cost to the electrical system. Thank goodness now we have solid state circuits and LED lighting. WAEVT member and Firetruck Fixer.
Alot of the Mack tower ladders were traded in on purchase of new trucks. Dealers refurbished them and sold them to other departments. FDNY still has some Mack tower ladders as spares.
Firefighters once were known as "smoke eaters." The old MSA cannister masks weren't much better than going with no mask at all. And then along came Scott!
You can also see them walking around with the scott packs hip straps undone, a huge portion of the FDNY still does this... good way to kill your back IMO.
How old are you? German grammar is very difficult to learn and understand! I wish you the best! ;-)) If you wanna learn from a native write me german mails.
I know... I am one, my dad was one as well. I'm not trying to be a hero, I'm trying to go home at the end of my shift... And if wearing my SCBA makes me a wuss then so be it.
I can't believe that they are still using the turnout coats and wader boots in 1992! My father, mother, uncles, and brother were firefighters around this time (and I joined in 03) and I basically grew up at the firehouse. Even here in upstate we all had full bunker gear at this time! Those Scott packs must be purely for decoration, I didn't see anyone with full SCBA. Even with an overhaul, there's some nasty smoke in that bldg I wouldn't want to breathe in!

What a great job !
Hey, that's a surprise. How long you has served as a FF at FDNY?
@@BeytekinConstructionMachinery 21 years....I'm retired now
@@280StJohnsPl Wow! Long time for FDNY. Nut House gang was awesome. Great hospitality!
@@BeytekinConstructionMachinery Yes they were :)
Love the old fire trucks and old cop cars. Awesome ride along and onscene video 😀
+CobraEmergencyVideos Yeah, nice time with nice vehicles. Thx a lot buddy! ;-)
Got to admit, there’s a certain casual badassery about those long coats and 3/4 boots that today’s turnouts just don’t quite capture.
Yeah, that's true. It was another time, closer to the 1970's and 80's.
All these guys look salty.....great videos your very lucky to have had the opportunity to spend and share times and stories with these fellas.
+keith pancione Yes, I was very thanksfully and happy for their great hospitality. Those times are gone since 9-11.

AMazing quality for such an old video and one of the best ridelongs with old trucks ever

+Andrew Silva Oh, some things are for ever! ;-)
I'm thinking that too.
+jahanzaib amin even at 3:45 the fire truck have old and slow light bar
I bet that LLV is still making the rounds somewhere too lol
the LLVs were developed in the mid 80s and are still used today
No, I'm a ( now retired) German firefighter and press photographer who produced a video film about FDNY and the former NYC EMS in the mid and late 90's.
I would have loved to be a ff back in those days. Glad to be a junior ff right now though.
Honestly, I'd be dead now if I was still wearing that old gear.
Thank you so much for your service. A true hero
Love the footage of The American La Frances. Keep posting more of them thanks.
Mail trucks haven't changed much! Looks exactly like the one that delivers my mail today.
Yeah, seems like that! 😆
Awesome video! These old ones are really cool! I think the trucks looked great back then! I wasn't even born yet when this video was filmed!
+Travis Malford I love those old American LaFrance and those MACK from the 1980s until the early 1990s. You're a New Yorker?
+Benjamin Beytekin me too! 😀 I'm from New Jersey, but the part near New York, so I've been their many times
Ah, I was in Jersey City and Hoboken in the 1990's.
+Benjamin Beytekin cool! Did you get any fire/EMS/PD pics or videos? Also, did you ever venture over to Morris County?
No vids but I was on the scene of a multiple fire in Hoboken so I've some pics from there. Will make a slide show vid for RUclips by time. I was never in your county. Think closest was Summit or Newark.
I road out for many years as a captain (not NYFD) on an American LaFrance engine it was my favorite apparatus to be assigned to!
Where did you served for?
The Streets Of New York is very old that time before today.
Yeah!
FF's got only ONE set of clothes. All other stuff they have to buy from their own budget! There was a FDNY store only for official use. That's a shame!
Learning it in school. Getting better little by little. Can't wait to speak it fluently
Interesting video, I like it! On scene footage was great.
Thank you so much!
That's the 'Days Gone' - a historical document. Thx for watching :-)
It's pretty awesome the see the old fire truck and the old NYPD Chevy Caprice classic
Thx for watching!
Thank you buddy!
In the first part of the video I was thinking "Where the heck can you find to park around here". lol
:o)
I wonder if there were any guys from this video still on the job on 9/11/01 and responded.
Yes, some were I know.
Thx for your nice words! ;-)
Thank you for the intersting comment! ;-)
Really cool dude. I love videos you go to events fire fighting. I really like your channel really fascinating
I am only 14 and have been learning it for 2 and a half years now.
I like those old ALF's.

Thx Andrew for your interesting comment. The cab was the only rain / weather protection. Before that time they have had open cabs!
Great Video !! Thank you.
+Shaags Mark Thank you for watching it! Happy holidays!
I met one of your retired FDNY in this video living in Utah.
Wow, that's pretty cool. Who is it?

Yup! We have had a nice barbecue, but no time to enjoy it! :o)
The run seemed like a long one. Great video and action.
Yeah, some longer run. Thx for compliment Dylan!
Both trucks are still working? That's great! Any pics or clips of them? Where do you live? Regards, Benjamin :-)
214 and 111 are still in service, but not using the same vehicles as in this clip. They're long gonr
Great footage my brothers, I know there is no world outside of USA and New York is the centre of the world, but could you let the rest of us Aliens ( including Brother FFs ) what a 10-75 is. Lolol.
Well I'm an alien too my friend. If you wanna know all the FDNY 10-codes, look here: www.n2nov.net/10code.html
Both are nice: old Mackies and the ALF ones! ;-)
Very nice video indeed back when nyc was nyc, question that block you went riding down 2:04 did you happen to spot a burgundy Plymouth Acclaim car parked on that block that day? my parents had that car then and we lived on that block from 1991-2017
Hey, that's funny! I can't remember exactly, to much time is gone. Where're you living now? Hope you have had a nice childhood.

@BeytekinConstructionMachinery I saw our Plymouth acclaim car it's a 2:30 parked behind that red car
Busiest house in Brooklyn besides R2. These dudes are rockstars
Yeah, that time. Nice guys there. Never forgot that 4th of July with that brothers and the barbecue with the fresh clams.
I too!!!!
Thx for the statistics!
Gotta love those handsome old Mack trucks.
Old school may look cool but when you get lung cancer because you didn't put you mask on and breath the FREE AIR you'll look back and think that was silly of me. (10 years on the job and still putting on my mask even for a dumpster fire). play safe.
Gotta love a Mack...........
love that PA200 siren
Me too! Thx for watching.
@@BeytekinConstructionMachinery it sucks that FDNY doesn't have the PA200 anymore and it sucks that they Banned the Federal Q1A,Q1B and Q2A/Q2B siren
Absolutely! :-)
WOW this video brings back some memories of the fire service...
Thx for watching! Stay healthy.
What horn is that?? Model and name if available!! Sounds like the lafd one
I hear a clicking noise when you're in the truck. What is that?
That's the accustic sign of the running lights ( like for the winker ).
Benjamin Beytekin Cool

The lights, I think strobe lights make a noise similar to that too
Michael Mauro its the cords from the radio bashing around
Hey I have a question. What happened to MACK tower ladder 58 of the FDNY
I'd seen that rig on Brooklyn Navy Yard for auction last century.
Alot of the Mack tower ladders were traded in on purchase of new trucks. Dealers refurbished them and sold them to other departments. FDNY still has some Mack tower ladders as spares.
14 is not "only" ! :-)) You're welcome!
Firefighters once were known as "smoke eaters." The old MSA cannister masks weren't much better than going with no mask at all. And then along came Scott!
Yep, that's right! Thx for watching!
Wow thats a big high pressure hydrant
Yes!
Love this horn
You can also see them walking around with the scott packs hip straps undone, a huge portion of the FDNY still does this... good way to kill your back IMO.
Thx :-)
3:55 into the video, are the FF wearing blue jeans under their turnout coats?
Yes, all FFs of those days had worn blue jeans!
Das ist sehr gut!
You got THAT right!
How old are you? German grammar is very difficult to learn and understand! I wish you the best! ;-))
If you wanna learn from a native write me german mails.
Thx a lot!
H A P P Y N E W Y E A R !!!
That's true!!! ;o)
What year did the Fdny start having eq2b sirens?
Not sure the exact year but I know it wasn't extremely long ago, maybe like 10 or so years ago
I think rescue 1's 07 Pierce Arrow XT was the first one to use the eq2b
I liked the baby blue NYPD cars, wish they hadn't went to white. Great video by the way.
Yeah, loved the 'true blue' color sheme more then the newer one.
Thx a lot! :)
I have ruined my back to. :-(
Yeah, they wanna be taff...and payed the price sometimes :-(
But y'all the FDNY did not ban the Federal 77GA on tower ladder 124
Well,...
@@BeytekinConstructionMachinery Wait they did???
Happy Independence Day 1992!
BIG MACK!!
Is it a requirement that all New York cops and firemen have moustaches?
Old Irish tradition. ;-)
Man the city was very inactive these times...
Are you FDNY?
If you aren't going to wear your SCBA, then why have it on your back? oh and PPV and Scene mgmt.....wow have times changed!
Heroes don't need a mask! ;-) At this time lot of FF's suffered smoke inhalations and went to hospital.
I know... I am one, my dad was one as well. I'm not trying to be a hero, I'm trying to go home at the end of my shift... And if wearing my SCBA makes me a wuss then so be it.
And I also saw the little winkey face...I know you're joking. But it just amazes me all the "old school" guys who think it makes them less manly..
They called himself 'smoke eaters'.
Yeah, the FDNY stopped with the Hip Boots in 1994. Amazingly, Chicago didn't switch until 2006.
Old boots. Cool.
:-)
I can't believe that they are still using the turnout coats and wader boots in 1992! My father, mother, uncles, and brother were firefighters around this time (and I joined in 03) and I basically grew up at the firehouse. Even here in upstate we all had full bunker gear at this time!

The FDNY did not get full turnout gear until after the Watts Street fire in 1994.
Great video but man sorry scene management . Way too many civilians in the way , they should've been on the other side of the road .
Daniel Franklin Citizens The police and fire are not Military aka also Civilians
Nice
They didn't ban the Federal 28, or 66G LOL
😆
THose 3/4 boots!!

Clickety clack. The sound of a Mack.
