5/7/24: I had the honor to tour the FDNY Mechanics shop at the FDNY Bell Club meeting. Some new pieces of apparatus were on display such as Tiller 169, Ladder 8, Ladder 124 and Engine 292 as well as other apparatus in for routine maintenance. More photos can be found on our website.

4:18 Ladder 44 is using the oldest rig in the fleet right now, a 1999 Seagrave that responded on 9/11 and was partially destroyed and rebuilt as a 2001. Historic rig that should be saved imo.

@Yupyup535 Ай бұрын

Fun fact … that’s just fire apparatus. And just 1 of 3 facilities for maintenance and repairs on fire apparatus. EMS and the command vehicles have an entirely separate facility

@colonelklink8175 Ай бұрын

What an incredible overall number and variety of rigs the FDNY has. SEAGRAVE, FERRARA, KME. An awesome fleet.

@robertschultz6922 Ай бұрын

Yes but I remember when seagraves was the only engine provider and logistically it was easier. If something breaks then there’s only one manufacturer that you have to know the specs on. Now every manufacturer has their own systems and the parts are not interchangeable. I understand why you go to the different makers especially when cost is a major factor but still the old days were awesome! I still think seagraves and American la France made the best apparatus ever!!!!

@jamieo8653 Ай бұрын

Most people don’t think about repairing the apparatus! The men and women who maintain these rigs have to get it right. The men and women in the stations and the citizens on NYC count on the apparatus operating as designed. Amazing! Thank you!!🇺🇸

Back In The Fifties, When I Was A Young Boy, The Korean War Was Going Hot And Heavy, Two Guys From The Neighborhood Were Fighting For Their Lives Up On The Frozen Chosen Reservoir, Two Tough Marines, Semper Fi. 🇺🇲 At The North End Of The Shops, On The 35th.St.Side, Were Two Big Classrooms, For FDNY, Officers. All The Kids From The Neighborhood, Called It, The Fire College, Next Store Was The Museum, Where Old Steam Engines, Were On Display, With A Few Small Antique Pumpers, Ladders, And Various Fire Equipment, I Watched From A Grassy Hill In B. Altman Warehouse Parking Lot, Across 35th.St. From The Museum, The FDNY Was Pulling Three Antique Steam Engines Out, And Hooking Up A Team Of Three Horses 🐎🐎🐎 Per Rig, Three Chestnut Horses, Three Black Horses, And Three White Horses, From A Huge Horse Van,To Each Rig.Then A Police, Radio Car, Escorted, Them Up 35th.St. Made A Left On To Queens Blvd. And Went Over The Queensboro Bridge, To The Parade.🇺🇲 I Remember On The South End Of The Shops, Hunters Point Ave. And 34th St. Was The Radio, Repair And Communication Station, I Watched Every Day, From My Classroom Window, At Public School 80, Greenpoint Ave. And 35th.St.The Mohawk Ironworker's, Erecting The First Huge Radio Antenna.

169 is currently a rear mount aerial in south Brooklyn near Coney Island. The city is adding tillers to the fleet. Replacing some rear mounts with tillers

@dbyers3897 Ай бұрын

It's a pity really. Too many out of service. Seagrave has supposedly improved on their service commitments but the majority of apparatus in the shops are aerials. Granted, most of the rear mounts are Ferrara.

@airspcfan Ай бұрын

@@dbyers3897 some of those are likely there for regular PM work, stuff the PM road guys can’t do in the field (brakes, engine, transmission or pump issues, annual ladder PM’s, etc), but yeah, that’s a bunch of truck companies riding spares.

@chrisbrown456 Ай бұрын

The Ladder 4 Ferrera has been a lemon ever since it replaced the Seagrave that had been Ladder 4 previously, over the last 4 years the Ferrera has spent more time in the shop with various issues than it has responding to calls

@Fdnyrigs Ай бұрын

@@dbyers3897Seagraves are the most reliable in the fleet, especially the new ones. Seagrave was just awarded the new Rescues, you can see Rescue 2’s being worked on and R3’s was sitting outside. Constant issues with the new Ferrara rescues and Ferrara ladders as well as Kme engines. Other new Seagraves in here are not in service yet.

Alright I have to ask, in every one’s opinion what is the best manufacturer of fire apparatus? I know they are out of business but American la France was the best! Now I’m not sure, Pierce maybe???

@robertsaurini8281 Ай бұрын

Is there and trucks left in service or are they all in this one shop??

@ricco0911 Ай бұрын

Wow! Huge shop, are reserves stored there as well or stored elsewhere?

@airspcfan Ай бұрын

Elsewhere for the most part. FDNY has 5 shops in total, with this being the largest. 2 handle ambulances, 1 handles ambulances, cars and light trucks/SUV’s and one at the fire academy handles apparatus during the day and ambulances at night. This shop handles everything over 20k pound gross vehicle weight. Engines, ladders, rescues and other specialty rigs.

@FDNY584 Ай бұрын

Reserves are stored in various firehouses throughout the 5 boroughs.

They never bid it or they were always the highest or one of the highest bidders. They did get the contract for the next batch, so those will be Seagrave, for the first time ever I believe.

@Yupyup535 Ай бұрын

KME engines are being replaced. Seagrave holds the engine contract again. KME started in 2013. Every 10 years rigs get replaced. The first batch of KME are up. KME pretty much went bankrupt on the city contract. Its parent company closed its manufacturing plant. They couldn’t keep up with the warranty work associated with the FDNY
