HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Mask Service Unit 1 is one of 3 staffed units. Each MSU is staffed by 1 Full time Firefighter. Daily each MSU Truck splits the city up to drop of cylinders to about 70 Depot Stations. The FDNY uses Scott 4.5 positive pressure masks in 60, 45, 30 and 15 minute versions... Each Depot holds about 40 bottles. Daily from 0830 to 1400 they are exchanging used cylinders and replacing them at the Depots. MSUs are assigned on 3rd Alarms, 2nd Alarm 10-77s, 10-76 Commercial High Rise Fires and may be special called citywide and may be special called to fill a depot as some areas of the city can have 3 fires in one day. Depot Stations are so if a Company is out of bottles they go to Depot to get new bottles. Mask Service Division is in charge by a Battalion Chief also known as Car 12M. Each Tour gets assigned a Officer & 3 Firefighters. The 3 Firefighters will be on the Trucks and the officer is at the desk to answer phone and to see who needs bottles and masks. During the day shift anywhere from 6-10 light duty firefighters work in the Mask Service Division to help fill bottles. Not just the bottles that are coming back from the trucks but they also have to fill bottles that are used at The Rock which is the FDNY Training Academy. They have the probies, rescue, hazmat schools. They have companies that train at the academy daily. In the same building they have 7 employees that work for Scott that work on issues with Masks and Cylinders. Cylinders are only good for 15 years and they have to be inspected every 3-5 years
The Mask Service Division utilizes 3 Sprinter Vans 2 of them have the capability to hold air cylinders. The white sprinter van can hold up to 130 bottles. The red one under 80. The 3rd one is empty so if they have to pick up masks and packs or drop them off. Each Battalion and Division have extra Masks and Packs. The White Sprinter Van is usually used for Manhattan as it’s easier then using a Big Truck.
Basically after a Fire companies in the battalion go to the Depot to exchange cylinders.
For Response to scenes basically if MSU 1 was doing depots in Queens then he would take any fires or incidents in queens.

I am fascinated by the logistics of such a large agency. Keep up these logistics related videos!
Thank you! Will do!
I know that and the special ops equipment always fascinate me. The two skid loaders or the loader back hoe or fuel truck… how are they transported to a scene and whom man’s them. Just amazing
They can be transported via trailers. Members of SOC man them.
The logistics of these big departments are so fascinating and what they need to get the big jobs done.
my dad worked in building 7 on randals so i really love the air mask unit
Awesome! Thanks for watching
No problem keep up the good work! cant wait for more videos some come out!@@SkylerFire
I didn't know that SCOTT had employees at the FDNY.
Yeah 7 employees
This was really interesting. Learned a lot that I had forgot since I retired 16 years ago. Thanks for keeping it interesting and thorough.
Glad you enjoyed it! I tried my best!
Great segment. Someone has to keep the SCBA up and running. Glad to see this video.
For sure big job! With inspection and then getting new bottles as they only last 15 years and you can’t just buy them at Home Depot
@SkylerFire hopefully they get a discount for buying a 500 or so, at a time.
I can’t wait to see next weeks Fleet Friday! So knowledgeable about apparatus that we don’t know about. Thanks!
You bet!
Thanks Skyler I have always wondered about the MSU
Me too! Lol
0:05 would've loved to seen that old Freightliner rig too.
Truck still runs lol
I’ve known of the service during my 40 year career, but never have seen the apparatus. Great job sir, thank you.
Very welcome
Skyler, Life needs food, water & air! The public may know that firefighters need air to breath in a burning building. But as you said Hazmat, training of all types, non breathable air for tools & O2 for EMS! It's all air!!! Did FDNY ever have a mobile cascade for filling bottles on scene? Why is the Sprinter & some support rigs White? Save money? Thanks for the great start to the Labor Day Weekend! 👍👍👍
I don’t recall a mobile cascade unit. Usually when they are white they where a quick buy or a lease. Thanks same to you!
The local VFDs put their bottle filling systems to work this afternoon when our neighbors house burnt to the ground. I can honestly say that as much as I find it interesting to watch the VFDs in action, this is one time I could have gone without seeing it.
Excellent job on this topic Fleet Fridays are getting better and better. Nice to go behind the scene and really see what it takes on a daily basic to make the FDNY the best.
Very interesting. Back in the early 80s when I was a volunteer in Baltimore County the paid department had a refill truck come to the major fires and refill bottles on site. But I can see why the mask services unit is much better for the FDNY. No time to fill on site just swap and go. Great video Skyler. I’m getting to look forward to Fleet Friday.
How do they keep accountability of the cylinders.
Basically every cylinder has a ID number. Whatever is taken from a Depot is exchanged for a new bottle.
Wow that’s a lot when you think of it they basically have a small company from a large company just to support them that’s how many cylinders there are. The logistics behind the FDNY is now joke. Thank you for a another interesting and informative fleet Friday!
You bet! Thanks for watching
Great video again Skyler. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do!
awesome video today great job you are doing
Thanks for the visit
Nice use of what to do when a firefighter goes on light duty.
Nice and interesting units! Thanks so much Skyler for review!
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
The FDNY literally thought of everything. I was always wondering how they kept their bottles up and running
Thanks for watching
Bless Another nice video. Thanks 😊 for taking the time to make it.
Thanks that was very informative 👍
Glad it was helpful!
I’m surprised they don’t have mobile air cascade trucks for on scene bottle filling
Better just to exchange 1FF can’t be filling that many bottles. Plus back at the firehouse the MSU can fill 10 at a time
@@SkylerFire Matter of opinion I guess I’m from Philadelphia we run two air units city wide with bottles and cascade plus we have second Alarmers volunteer association who carry spare bottles and have a cascade
I’m surprised there’s no cascade system or cabinets with spare masks etc, to service packs.
There's footage of a Mask Service Unit responding to the Twin Towers on 9/11.
Ok
I assumed every fire house had a refill station. Is there a reason they mainly use 45 minute bottles and not 60 minute ones? How much does each bottle weigh when fully filled with air?
As every firefighter breaths different a 45min bottle on a average firefighter probably lasts 27-30mins. Which they wouldn’t want a firefighter operating closer to a hour. That’s what relief is for. 60min bottles are for Hazmat mainly as you would want as much air as possible not not breath in Hazmat related.
45min bottle around 15
60min bottle around 18
Great stuff man
Thx
I love the video
Thanks
Can you do a episode on our regular companies like, engines, ladder/towers, etc.
Ladder 32 is on. I’ll have a tower ladder posted soon… I am waiting on a engine but soon!
Isn’t there a msu that is a mobile scba shop to do repairs on large long endurance incidents?
No mobile unit. It would be worked at Building 7 at The Rock.
Can you go over the Dragger rebreather they use?
Yes Rebreather coming soon
I never knew all this???
Glad you learned something new today!
Very informative info on operations beyond the fire line Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey Skylar love the videos you've been putting out, really good quality detailed an amazing keep up the good work bro!
Thanks! Will do!
another great video
Thanks
Skyler I love the fleet Fridays! Keep them coming. I do have a question. Do FDNY members get assigned their own mask?
Thanks. Yes sorry they do get assigned a face Piece
Any clue how long it takes to fill all the bottles for just 1 of the 3 trucks??
Built by Hackney Emergency Vehicles in North
Carolina for Seagrave.
Yes
Amazing video as always, sad you can't expand into the NYPD vehicles but still love the content
Not into the NYPD, not much to show anyways
@@SkylerFire understandable, but a lot to show especially ESU the amount of vehicles they have is crazy
Nice job skyler
I thought that msu trucks also had a cascade system as well. Also are you just doing all front line apparatus or other none fire support vehicles.
They don’t. Easier to swap out. I did CPC and a SSL and 2nd pieces coming coming soon.
That Is Alot Of Bottles
For sure!
Who handles the hydrostatic testing of the SCBA’s
Scott that works in the building I believe
Does the FDNY have any mobile cascade systems? Or just these cylinder transport trucks?
No mobile units
