Hate to break it you but firefighting in general is expensive. Even your average fire truck costs upwards of $600,000 these days. People want to complain about how expensive it is but then when something happens and someone dies everyone wants to bash our first responders. This was definitely needed

not at all. if you consider that NYC is really more like a freaking independent state than a city. this is their first new fireboat on about 80 years, not to mention that NYC has almost more commercial/industrial shoreline than any other city, also consider that they have 2 or 3 fireboats of this size, where tokyo, the nearest comparable city has 9 mid-sized fireboats.

If I had a nickel for every time he said “emergencies of tomorrow” I could but myself a boat just like it

i think my local fire fighters might have a row boat and 2 buckets >_>

I love how its called Three Forty Three. 343 never forget

1:33 "Fighter Fighters" LMFAO

Looks like a really good investment. In general, we should invest more in Coastguard and Fire Brigade who are often underfinanced while the military has more cash than they can spend.

In the firefighting business it's a lot better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

......and we never were told about capacity of pump(s). Eleven 50K gpm cannons is serious flow. Even if designed to use only one at a time.

Captaining (or working at) this kind of firefighting ship must be one of the coolest jobs in the world!

50,000 gallons per minute is insane!It would fill my pool in about 22 seconds!

To be fair nyc brings in a shit ton of tax money and there's people there that pay more than 27 mil in taxes a year

A remote-controlled system that lets them control systems remotely? What a revelation!

I’m ready to come out of retirement and do some shift work on this beauty. Nice boat!

$27 mil is cheap in comparison to how much the city spends on sports

that boat was built here in panama city at eastern ship builder and they did a amazing job on it!!!!

lmao "this is a big big nut to swallow"

Shame! No mention of why she's named Three Forty Three!

but.. does it brew coffee?

good OLE NY City-always has the best of all things!!!!....keep up the good work

Well, I would rather see taxpayer money being spent on this rather than going into DiBlasio’s pockets

1:35, what the hell is a fighter fire?

I love how people say this is not needed. the port of New York and New Jersey is the third largest port in the United States with over 5 million commercial vessels entering the port yearly. FDNY is responsible for fire and medical emergencies within the metropolitan area including the coast of New York and New Jersey. this ship is stationed in Staten Island and can be anywhere in the confines of New York City or New Jersey within a short period of time.

I expect the toilets in there to be state of the art as well. 😂

firefighters should have the best of the best.they do a great job.i am sure most agree

I had a friend who help make this fire boat. I would love to see it in person. I wish Portland Oregon would get a new fire boat

Glad this guy is not a sales person, really sloppy data there.

Well all I can say is without seeing the ships log and call outs,...is nice boat....Sure hope the dollar to call out ratio is in line.

Pretty sure the deck gun he was pointing at doesn’t put out 50,000 GPM..maybe he meant all deck guns combined.

Damn 2010!? 7 year old ship :D

How big is the booster tank?

Drinking game, take a shot every time he says tomorrow

No heated seats? Sad

You cry when you don't need it but when you do you will be happy they have it!!!

More worth it then a fcking yacht

Very impressive.

it's like a mobile fire department

Water on water cool!

Firefighters of tomorrow. Tech of tomorrow, tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow

thats not a fire boat thats a fire yacht

first responder s deserve the best be safe

That's a hell of a boat

SO THIS IS WHERE MY FATHERS FUCKING TAXES ARE GOING TO...

This is bigger than a coast guard cutter man

“This is big big nut to swallow. Its alot” 1:20

A big step up from a rocket fuel pump mounted on a DUKW.

Think you not correct about the 55 thousand gallons per minute pumping capacity. Please let me know.

2:40 priorities during a fire lol

What is the storage capacity of the water tank? At 50k gallons per minute per one pump it needs to be pretty damn big.

wow just wow

Would this (Ship turbocharger) fit my Honda?

Has MTUs instead of CATs...interesting.

"and this craft gives fighter fighters -"

Want to see the 75k drone, expensive but cool as shit..

1:34 did he say "fighter fighters"?😂😂

how many times did he say of tommorow

do they treat that as a station and keep it staffed?

wow cool stuff

Actually surprised it was only $27mil. There’s a lot of mechanical equipment and technology on her.

that is very nice

Its called a SCBA

Where can I purchase one of these boats? Please contact me!

LOL my local fire dept has a zodiac boat

XD fighter fighter 1:35 lol

Very nice 😊🙂😉☺😎😏☺

1:34 he said fighterfighters Hahaha

Wonder what new technology since 2010

It's 7 years later and has there ever been a situation where this boat was used and a smaller boat wouldn't have been able to handle the job?

the reporting of tomorrow

“Fighter fighter”

That Is Boss!

Did he say "fighter fighters" ?

How many times did he say Of today?

This is a priority regardless of the price.

50,000 gallons a minute on one gun did he say? That is 1192 barrel a minute and no one will get that rate through that size pipe. He is mistaken. Maybe that much through all eleven water guns.

Fucking love ny I'm gonna move there when I get older hopefully

The pipes lasted 9 months

Take a shot every time he says *technology* or *technology of tommorow*

that is big F.D.N.Y. boat

But DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK??

Have all the electronics on this boat been hardened to prevent EMP damage ? If Not Why Not ? EMP will render this boat a pile of driftwood at most in a fire.

National security you say. Strange.

As it sprays fish and garbage all over then scene lmao jokes

Crowd suppression tool that will pirated by the cops. What are the maintenance cost??

I hope the boat doesn't catch fire.

I love first responders of every city. NYC's have a special place in everyone's heat.. But as a political nightmare Nyc needs to be cut off from upstate Ny.. How did we go from the patriotism of 2001 to the hatred of each other in 2019?? How did a people that want us dead get such a foot hold in our county?

2010...Why was this recommended to me?

I don't think they said "firefighters of tomorrow" or "space age" enough times. Better redo it.

Crew area looks very uncomfortable.

Two uints with the same Number what are the odds of 9/11

So why couldn't we see it in action? I would've liked to see those water cannons shooting water.

Fighterfires 😂

1:34 *fighterfighters* ?

Any plans to keep the 433 for 70 years ? Hopefully.

big boy

Let me drive it

Good for coastal fire otherwise!

1:34 ayyy FFS

yea no, i live in wisconsin

I do not think that I have ever heard a reporter talk so much yet say so little: embarrassingly slim on facts/data and technical comparisons and very heavy on repeated fluff phrases "space age, technology of tomorrow"...
