I know there are some cases where Engine and Ladder Companies are either back to back on the same block, or one is on one street and right around the corner is the other, or they had their houses built right next to each other at different times.

Yea its a mofo maneuvering any of the apparatus but especially backing. I'm my station I not only have to back them, but a couple of our trucks share bays side by side, so we have to back up straight and then at a 45° once inside the bay. . Lol. But it's badass to drive them =)
Good thing my station has five bays in total but the first three, which house the trucks, have the drive through bays while the last two don't. Luckily we store apparatus that aren't hard to back up. I feel bad for the people that have to back the apparatus into the bay. Especially a ladder.
This drives my crazy even driving a car. I get that pedestrians have the right of way on sidewalks and cross walks, but to not even look up and see that i see them before just walking out in front of me is insane. Right of way means nothing when youre dead.
I think E44's house must be getting work done so they temporarily moved the 44s to 39's house and moved the RSU somewhere else. E44 can fit being 39's because it is a very deep bay. The two houses are only 0.6 miles apart,
Such a huge difference from just a few miles away where you can have an entire dept come out of two houses. Our HQ on Long Island has an engine, two squirts, a tower, heavy rescue and three ambulances along with special call units like dive team, brush truck and technical and high water rescue equipment coming out of the same house. Curious, did 39 go as modified on all of 44's runs or did they move 39 out of the way whenever 44 got an engine only call?
@@lukgiel I'm not sure where you live, if your close to Long Island, or somewhere else, but most of the brothers on the job in the city are Volunteers on Long Island! I spent 23 years as a Volly, & my firehouse had 8 men who were on the job in the city! Paid or not, firefighting is the greatest job on earth!!

How time has changed to look of The Fire Department Equipment. Used to have two fire fighters hanging on the back of The Engine and used to be convertibles. My 2 uncles were what they called "smoke eaters" no breathing protection which ended up taking their lives. Now everything is geared towards the safety of The Men and Women of The Fire Service. All i can say is thank the Lord for the changes which helps brings about some sense of safety. My thanks goes out to them as well as my prayers. God bless
FDNY* also, they use all of it. That's where they eat, sleep, shower, and more. They need space, as you see, it's not like there are 1 or 2 people, there's many.
As a former ff/first responder I agree in one way but have disagree. Yes it's an amazing symbol but the environment we are in sometimes, all hours of the day and night. No the flag should not be on any engines, ladders, medics and rescue trucks. The flag would be disrespected in those environments.
little late but we dont fly them on ours cause its against the US flag code to fly them on moving vehicles, not to mention the damage that happens when driving constantly through city streets. You'd have to change them every week
Manhattan is an island surrounded by water. For various reasons, people sometimes unexpectedly find themselves in the water. Life saving rings can come in handy in such situations. Storing them on the deck pipe leaves compartment space on the rig available for other equipment.
Is there a reason why police station are often build next to fire stations? In every video of FDNY Trucks I see police cars , parking in front of the station ?
many times FD /EMS and a PD bound in one building , they'e called a 'Safety Complex'. All units roll out of a central location. of course this tactic is mainly used in Townships and/or Villages .
You do realize it’s standard to get their PPE which is the gear they are wearing on in two minutes considering each truck has 6 guys on it getting 3 trucks and 18 people out of a station in under 3 minutes is fantastic
@@Sucknutz_ not modified response if there's lights and sirens which there was for 44/16 This looked like a run for 44Engine and 16Truck. 39Engine possibly as they are piggybacking on the Engine bay went round the block
Relax guys, this is not the 1970's. This isn't 'Backdraft'. They're not responding to babies on fire in a 4-alarm 42nd story apartment. Probably a modified response, or chief already on scene, food on the stove already taken care of with a fire extinguisher, an automatic/false alarm at an abandoned building for the 126th time this year, or a kid fell off his bicycle and is in need of an ice pack.

I canny give you a definitive answer on either of your questions, however, I can give you my best guesses. Q: Why do they have a separate ladder and engine company? A: Most if not all fire departments in the US do this. If I had to guess it's so that both companies can do their separate tasks. Engines are tasked on fire suppression, while Ladder companies are tasked with ventilation, forcible entry, and search and rescue. Q: Why don't they have engine 1 with Ladder 1? A: To be honest I have no clue, but here's my guess. If I had to guess it was probably like that at one point, however with the evolution of the department and companies being disbanded and formed, they had to relocate units to different houses for better coverage. Currently, to my knowledge, there is only one firehouse that does this, and that is, ”The Ten House”. Pretty self-explanatory, engine 10 and ladder 10. Another thing, not all engine companies have a ladder company with the same number, and vice-versa. For example, there is an engine 60, but no ladder 60.
Because FDNY was formed by buying out all the volunteer depts that were in the cities at the time. Then they had to standardize by giveing them common first digits based on the borough they are located in.
New York people are sure stupid. I think those trucks should just go. They have the right away. Those big trucks will move other vehicles out of the way.
Seems like an awfully big production when there is no traffic. I work in a very congested, often traffic clogged smaller city and we just drive out and they get out of our way one way or another. This seems unnecessary, every time, every call? We also have garage door openers to close up as we drive away. Several of these videos there were only two or three cars traveling in one direction. Why stop them? If they just drive out the cars will go by and pull over.
Can someone tell me why fire fighters in the USA all seem to walk around going so slow. In the UK when the alarm goes of in the fire station they all run to the engine and are out in minutes
I asked this on another channel. The answer I was told is when you see this, they are an alternate or backup, or maybe even a special response. Normal response would be as you described. Alarm, then dressed and moving in less than a minute.

Seems like an awfully big production when there is no traffic. I work in a very congested, often traffic clogged smaller city and we just drive out and they get out of our way one way or another. This seems unnecessary, every time, every call? We also have garage door openers to close up as we drive away.
Several of these videos there were only two or three cars traveling in one direction. Why stop them? If they just drive out the cars will go by and pull over.
It’s nyc they won’t pull over they will loose all brain cells and just stop mid road which is why they do it
must never have been to NYC. been doing it like this for 150 yrs. since metal bells and horses ramming through the streets
Can someone tell me why fire fighters in the USA all seem to walk around going so slow. In the UK when the alarm goes of in the fire station they all run to the engine and are out in minutes
I asked this on another channel. The answer I was told is when you see this, they are an alternate or backup, or maybe even a special response. Normal response would be as you described. Alarm, then dressed and moving in less than a minute.
Our guys have to be dressed and out in minutes.
