    What the hell kind of style would you call that, 1850's Spanish Fort on the banks of the Rio Grande?

    Rundown of units at 9-11

    I believe that might have been Smoke II, since the Kane was down for repairs. If not, the full listing of vessels involved in the boatlift is here https://www.1931fireboat.org/images/pdfs/Proud_History_Boat_Lift_List.pdf

    From my records and research: Marine 1 (John D. McKean) responded to the foot of Albany St after making civilian and member evacuation runs to New Jersey and commenced water supply operations. Her initial setup was to E-219->E-228->E-216->E-14->Manifold opposite 90 West St. Reported to have...

    Fleet Friday FDNY SPECIAL UNIT COMPARTMENTS

    Impressive rig and I appreciate the breakdown of the command board. Ive always wondered how that was setup as a non-firefighter. Certainly a valuable piece of equipment to help keep tabs on all the units assigned. Thanks!

    NYC has plans to increase city!

    My dirty water coffee/BECSPK guy lived in his little hut on wheels day in and day out, what seemed like 24-7 on Varick and King when I was working there and for years after. If he can do it anyone can!

    11/24/23 Bronx 2nd Alarm Box 2149

    Between the burst line, trash heap on the hydrant and the mayday that was a pretty hectic start. Glad to see everybody made it out safe

    Niagara Falls, NY Border Crossing - Reported Car Explosion & Fire

    A few pics from FBNY, looks like either a car blew up or rammed one of the screener huts going fast enough to part itself out

    Older (1960-1990) Satellite Rigs

    Gotcha, thanks. So that would make the model progression go like this: Mack C -> Mack C Refurb -> ALF -> Mack CF -> Mack MR -> Mack MR -> Peterbuilt

    Rundown of units at 9-11

    Excellent idea, so many accounts are overlooked. Or maybe when official interviews were being conducted and recorded some werent ready to talk, the emotions were still too raw.

    Older (1960-1990) Satellite Rigs

    Somehow that makes them even more of a horrid abomination. They look like a bastard cross of a Ward Lafrance and a milk truck

    Older (1960-1990) Satellite Rigs

    Were all the rigs replaced around 2003? I only thought Sat 1 got a new rig since theirs got damaged on 9/11

    Older (1960-1990) Satellite Rigs

    General knowledge question for those who know, but after the initial Mack C's used as part of the Super Pumper System were aged out, there seem to be a few variations of rigs for the Satellite units.
