Pics from RobShots, Niagara Falls FD, Niagara County Hazmat & Niagara Falls ARB Hazmat Squad responded. No injuries.

Is there a reason the Squads are kept to the 1000gpm pump these days when the rest of the fleet is going to 2000gpm? Smaller pump = more internal room for specialized tools?

Bravo zulu, well done

Hope the victims are ok, terrible to be hit by some jonny burnout idiot or DWI on the 4th.

Delta flight 136 (Detroit-Amsterdam) apparently diverted yesterday to JFK after a number of passengers got sick onboard. 12 passengers were treated by EMS on arrival. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL136/history/20240703/0245Z/KDTW/KJFK I suppose this is also obligatory:

It wasn't just the clothing, though that and lack of knowledge on how to swim had a major part to play in the death toll. The owners of the Gen'l Slocum had cork life jackets that had degraded to the point that with any handling the canvas layer fell apart. The contents rather than being actual...

The event you are thinking of was the aftermath of the Alva Cape/Texaco Massachusetts collision. The Alva Cape was anchored in Gravesend Bay lightering off the remaining Naptha cargo when sparks caused a massive explosion and fire. The fireboat Alfred Smith was alongside at the time and was...

Very impressive video, one I've never seen before. I've always found this pic to be the most stark representation of just what the FDNY marine fleet was up against that night, and for a good portion of the early response it was Fire Fighter under the command of Lt. McKenna who faced it alone...

Looked like the injured firefighter had his hand on the green unit the entire time, so hopefully he was semi-cognizant enough to help out, but chest compressions is never a good sign. Hoping for the best.

Thats a new one for me, Ive never seen 4 guys lift a car with a ladder before!

Wow what a mess. Hopefully the MFD members stay safe, sure sounds like a suspicious situation all around between the rapid spread and the shooting victim. Per the livestream they are now using foam as well and I overheard they are drafting from the Miami River I live across the street from a...

Very impressive stuff, I spent way too much of my workday looking thru all the units and comparing notes and I think you're pretty spot on especially considering how different the streetscape is down there these days versus 2001. The only 3 I didn't see were L118 and E26 that were parked side by...

That is fantastic work. Ive been working on something similar as a on/off project for a while now. Great to see

Awful to hear, glad they caught the perp though. I hope they throw the book at them

With Fleet Week underway in midtown Manhattan and in Staten Island, are there any FDNY units special detailed to these locations for additional coverage or is it more or less business as usual?

Yeah the stories Ive heard about driving through Lackawanna next to the Bethlehem mill when it was up and running are pretty ugly.

Dont knock it till ya try it, and besides Im told it smells way better here now that all the steel mills are closed!
