So why not just beef up the satellite units? 1 per boro plus Sat 6, each with a 3-5k gpm pump and all their existing LDH, foam and manifolds? Seems to me at least they would see more use (in theory) than a major event rig like the current Super Pumper

Stay safe out there, best case is everybody gets a gear wash

Hard to believe its been 22 years since that awful day. RIP to those lost, solace to those who mourn and hopes that those missing can one day be identified and returned to their loved ones.

Giuliani is a crook and a traitor. 9/11 saved his career and he's capitalized on it like a f'ing ghoul. I hope they lock him up and let him rot.

After watching those videos I now fully understand why it takes an hour plus to rig the Super Pumper for operation from the draw sites. Not exactly a "show up and go" rig, but then again I guess that was never the planned use.

Sad to see at the end of the boating season, but there are reasons inboards come festooned with warnings about running blowers and not refueling a hot engine. Hopefully the injury is minor.

Now now, if you step on a needle there sooner or later youll step on another with the antidote

Not to derail the thread, but what the heck is/was the "slippery water" mentioned in the article on page 2? Clearly whatever it was didn't work

Per the 1630 update forecast top winds at landfall got dropped from 125 to 115, hopefully that trend continues if the storm keeps moving N at the same speed or greater than originally forecast. Oddly enough, some of the real long-range models show Idalia getting stuck in doldrums off the...

Hitting a marked and lit buoy in broad daylight in deep water is a whole other level of stupidity. Good news is, I suppose, the owners insurance will have a field day with this clown

The Fireboat Fire Fighter Museum and Mystic Seaport are hosting the Fire Fighter Festival on Saturday August 26th to mark the 85th birthday of Fire Fighter, a former FDNY fireboat that served the city from 1938-2010. Festivities start at 10AM and will continue to 5PM and will feature antique...

These days pretty much every manufacturer seems to be wildly expensive except the real bargain basement brands. I suppose it comes down to build quality and how much your municipality can spare for the costs that come with it. Case in point, my brother is a Captain in his local VFD and a was a...

That must have been a pretty penny, Sutphens don't come cheap.

Interesting video, those trucks are pretty well stocked for just about everything. 2 questions though- 1. Would a Divison Chief truck be similarly equipped or have a whole different setup other than the usual items? 2. Anybody know what the actual name for that rear raisable lightbar is? My...

Maybe just a really smokey engine startup?

Congrats to the guys on the McKean on making the registry. I'm always impressed they got their insurers OK to dock where they are these days, when we got Fire Fighter we were looking at the same area but our insurance said no way no how due to ice flow risks.
