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
Uh, a fire engine (custom) is around 300-350K. A commercial chassis one will be 50-100K less. Ladders are around 750K to a million. This boat will probably serve for 40 years or more though.
They should have the best equipment instead of Commissioners, mayors, DAs, Governors, you know what I mean. It's more important than what desk you sit at in a municipal office.
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.
Rashad Agee only knew what you meant cause i visited the 9/11 memorial last week. RIP to all those first responders, volunteers and civilians that died that day
Three hundred forty three firefighters who died that day... They're still dying from the effects of the pile from their work they were doing for such a long time. God bless them all. RIP.
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.
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.
It is more like 60 thousand gallons! Yes there are only ( 4 ) 10,000 Gpm pumps but they plumed them with a daisy loop for the added benefit of extra gallon age per min.
George CIPRA I agree but in the video it appears he is referring to just one gun being capable of that. I wish I could could see the boat in action first hand .
hmm don't know why TH-cam recommend this but. I noticed this is 8 years old. So how many times has this boat been put to use, has it justified it's 27million dollar price tag?
xanadujohn79 1. This isn't practical to use in riot situations. How many riots have you heard take place on water? 2. The police only "suppress crowds" when they turn violent. Peaceful protests are welcomed in America.
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"...
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.
Wow no one ever thought of that. It really would've cost only 26 million, but they added the convenience package for another million (floor mats, Bose speakers and EMP protection).
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.
Seriously? A god damn frog questioning American government expenditures? Worry about all the socialist boondoggles your own government is wasting taxpayers' money on.
Man I wish I could pull such ridiculous numbers just out of my ass. If there was 19 million homeless children in New york city alone they would cover every square foot and would quite literally be a flood of humans. In reality, there is only about 60-70k homeless people in new york city. And when you consider what the NY FD has to cover and how much of it was coastline/waterways, this boat is perfectly justifiable. Especially when you consider its like their first new fire boat in decades, they were/are using very old ass boats. I have no problem with money going into things that help save lives and property.
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?
It would have been good if the reporter had mentioned how often NYC fire boats actually fight fires. Then there would be some way to evaluate if the $27 million is actually good value for money.
The NYC Sanitation Department uses a DSNY designation. I once every saw an old photograph on the internet of the late NYC Mayor Fiorello La Guardia sitting in a Police motorcycle sidecar and on the side of the sidecar were the letters PDNY.
To my understanding it is used quite often, from fires to vessel crashes, to offering a water supply during large fires where hydrants would be sucked dry [both in NYC and in NJ] S&R, and dive team operations. The boat is out at least once a week, if not once a day. Also note, the 343 is replacing a fire-boat that was over 70 years old.

Can't forget about the insane maintenance cost per year.

ffjsb when was the last time you looked at prices? 20 years ago?😂

joek0617 when the 80 years of grinding finally pays off 😎
i think my local fire fighters might have a row boat and 2 buckets >_>
Cypher791 lol.
2 buckets?!? Man, you guys have it good!
Cypher791 Jeez we would be lucky to have a floaty
Breen Whitman IKR!!
Cypher791 my department gives us life jackets and red Solo cups for water fires
If I had a nickel for every time he said “emergencies of tomorrow” I could but myself a boat just like it
I love how its called Three Forty Three. 343 never forget
Rashad Agee only knew what you meant cause i visited the 9/11 memorial last week. RIP to all those first responders, volunteers and civilians that died that day
It’s the amount of firefighters that died on 9/11 if anyone is wondering
Three hundred forty three firefighters who died that day... They're still dying from the effects of the pile from their work they were doing for such a long time. God bless them all. RIP.
1:33 "Fighter Fighters" LMFAO
Ryder lol
Ryder IKR LMFAO
You caught that too, my kids say the same thing when they say im a "Fighter Fighter"
Требуется боеприпасы 1:37*
Hugo yes that is a tool for vocabulary
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.
but.. does it brew coffee?
H&NKinsha of course it doesn't lol
H&NKinsha it dose in the break room
Do it make a good slice?
Captaining (or working at) this kind of firefighting ship must be one of the coolest jobs in the world!
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
1 That's definitely not our dear President though.
gilbert martinez You can't exactly not pay taxes.
+Andrew De Jesus And most certainly not all those deadbeat libtards living in the projects.
@@literalantifaterrorist4673 lmao. Where have you been?
Shame! No mention of why she's named Three Forty Three!
Possibly after the 343 firefighters that died in 9/11?
CodenameHaswell I think he knew why, he was just upset that the news channel didn't mention it.
I worked at Eastern ship building and worked on this boat it's named in remembrance of the 343 fire fighters and cops that lost there lives on 9/11
343 FDNY
23 NYPD
37 Port Authority PD
Matt Tunis yup
......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.
1:35, what the hell is a fighter fire?
$27 mil is cheap in comparison to how much the city spends on sports
lol right
that boat was built here in panama city at eastern ship builder and they did a amazing job on it!!!!
it was designed in Canada
And deployed in the Middle,
😎
Was the boat sailed all the way to new york , or was it delievered by cargo ship
A remote-controlled system that lets them control systems remotely? What a revelation!
50,000 gallons per minute is insane!It would fill my pool in about 22 seconds!
Nice flex
I’m ready to come out of retirement and do some shift work on this beauty. Nice boat!
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.

lmao "this is a big big nut to swallow"
i almost choked on my skittles when he said that
its confirmed, firemen
love nuts
omg stop right now
Jrufutufyifyi guy fugu guy cut cucuufitigiificififurutr7futf u7r7r7f6 fry fry 6r6f4uthff uyr uf7dud6fygyfyyyrs tdd
Well, I would rather see taxpayer money being spent on this rather than going into DiBlasio’s pockets
firefighters should have the best of the best.they do a great job.i am sure most agree
I expect the toilets in there to be state of the art as well. 😂
Rinse your rear with 50,000 gpm bidet.
Pretty sure the deck gun he was pointing at doesn’t put out 50,000 GPM..maybe he meant all deck guns combined.
Glad this guy is not a sales person, really sloppy data there.
No heated seats? Sad
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
More worth it then a fcking yacht
Firefighters of tomorrow. Tech of tomorrow, tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow
It's only a day away.
Damn 2010!?
7 year old ship :D
first responder s deserve the best be safe
Drinking game, take a shot every time he says tomorrow
good OLE NY City-always has the best of all things!!!!....keep up the good work
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.
it's like a mobile fire department
Has MTUs instead of CATs...interesting.
Noticed that MTU is gaining popularity here in the US, I'm a CAT man though Volvo Penta is looking good.
thats not a fire boat thats a fire yacht
You cry when you don't need it but when you do you will be happy they have it!!!
Water on water cool!
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?
Look up fireboats on brooklyn vacent warehouse fire
Did you pay for it? Do some research. Also not every use is documented on youtube.
Think you not correct about the 55 thousand gallons per minute pumping capacity. Please let me know.
It is more like 60 thousand gallons! Yes there are only ( 4 ) 10,000 Gpm pumps but they plumed them with a daisy loop for the added benefit of extra gallon age per min.
George CIPRA I agree but in the video it appears he is referring to just one gun being capable of that.

“This is big big nut to swallow. Its alot” 1:20
hmm don't know why TH-cam recommend this but. I noticed this is 8 years old. So how many times has this boat been put to use, has it justified it's 27million dollar price tag?
Crowd suppression tool that will pirated by the cops. What are the maintenance cost??
xanadujohn79 1. This isn't practical to use in riot situations. How many riots have you heard take place on water?
2. The police only "suppress crowds" when they turn violent. Peaceful protests are welcomed in America.
SO THIS IS WHERE MY FATHERS FUCKING TAXES ARE GOING TO...
Yeah to save the lives of others it's better than wasting it on stupid stuff for spoiled brats
Paul . Alexeyenko Probably won't hear you bitching when this thing comes to keep your shity little Manhattan apartment from burning down.
How big is the booster tank?
This is bigger than a coast guard cutter man
That's a hell of a boat
Its called a SCBA
A big step up from a rocket fuel pump mounted on a DUKW.
"and this craft gives fighter fighters -"
Actually surprised it was only $27mil. There’s a lot of mechanical equipment and technology on her.
Seriously! I would think I’d be at least double that price considering it’s a 150ft ship stuffed with top notch equipment.
the reporting of tomorrow
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"...
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.
The vehicles nowadays have too many electronics!
Do fire's generally produce EMPs?
They do not.
Wow no one ever thought of that. It really would've cost only 26 million, but they added the convenience package for another million (floor mats, Bose speakers and EMP protection).
do they treat that as a station and keep it staffed?
Cody W it's probably docked relatively near a station and ready to go 24/7 so they can just jump on if needed
2:40 priorities during a fire lol
Would this (Ship turbocharger) fit my Honda?
What is the storage capacity of the water tank? At 50k gallons per minute per one pump it needs to be pretty damn big.
Just guessing here, but I would say this boat is floating in its water tank.
Yeah, the Hudson River is a pretty big tank
Ummmm.....It draws the water from the...ummm...water it floats in.
Can't believe this was a serious question. There is a water tank BTW but it's drinking water for the crew.
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.
Any plans to keep the 433 for 70 years ? Hopefully.
They plan to keep it for 343 months. 28 years is enough. The name is really a reminder.
Very impressive.
Where can I purchase one of these boats? Please contact me!
This is a priority regardless of the price.
The pipes lasted 9 months
1:34 did he say "fighter fighters"?😂😂
27 million dollars. How many calls has it been on since it was put in service? I mean, how much has it actually been used? Was this money well spent?
Seriously? A god damn frog questioning American government expenditures? Worry about all the socialist boondoggles your own government is wasting taxpayers' money on.
KiloByte it's a legitimate question. Fire boats are rarely used and one this size isn't necessary at all.
Man, you have no idea who I am or where I come from. What a waste of money. 19 million homeless children in New York City alone.
+Leggo My Ego Most cars never use their air bags and seat belts, let's get rid of those too! What idiotic logic. Please don't vote.
Man I wish I could pull such ridiculous numbers just out of my ass. If there was 19 million homeless children in New york city alone they would cover every square foot and would quite literally be a flood of humans. In reality, there is only about 60-70k homeless people in new york city.

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?
Want to see the 75k drone, expensive but cool as shit..
“Fighter fighter”
Did he say "fighter fighters" ?
So why couldn't we see it in action? I would've liked to see those water cannons shooting water.
is the ffs for "for fuck sake!"?
LimitlessDeadline It's for when they say how much it costs 😂
how many times did he say of tommorow
Two uints with the same Number what are the odds of 9/11
I don't think they said "firefighters of tomorrow" or "space age" enough times. Better redo it.
Crew area looks very uncomfortable.
LOL my local fire dept has a zodiac boat
Take a shot every time he says *technology* or *technology of tommorow*
It would have been good if the reporter had mentioned how often NYC fire boats actually fight fires. Then there would be some way to evaluate if the $27 million is actually good value for money.
I hope the boat doesn't catch fire.
1:34 he said fighterfighters Hahaha
But DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK??
National security you say. Strange.
How many times did he say Of today?
If the police department can identify with NYPD, then the fire department can identify with NYFD.
Dumb comment
It’s FDNY, when it was founded they were named the Fire Department of New York
The New York Fire Department must be an uppity bunch. They don't like being known as NYFD, pronounced (nyfty).
The NYC Sanitation Department uses a DSNY designation.
I once every saw an old photograph on the internet of the late NYC Mayor Fiorello La Guardia sitting in a Police motorcycle sidecar and on the side of the sidecar were the letters PDNY.
Wonder what new technology since 2010
It's not space age, it's not of tomorrow. It's modern and is damn needed
2010...Why was this recommended to me?
that is big F.D.N.Y. boat
wow just wow
XD fighter fighter
1:35 lol
big boy
As it sprays fish and garbage all over then scene lmao jokes
Rob Cordroy doesn't look well, and he's become too impressionable
How often is a boat like that needed in NYC?
Quite often.
To my understanding it is used quite often, from fires to vessel crashes, to offering a water supply during large fires where hydrants would be sucked dry [both in NYC and in NJ] S&R, and dive team operations. The boat is out at least once a week, if not once a day. Also note, the 343 is replacing a fire-boat that was over 70 years old.
Too bad they couldn't use a better camera on such a "high tech" boat
But I don't think it's the boats camera.
I'm sure they just uploaded in low res. I really doubt they filmed it with a shit camera. It's a major network.
1:34 *fighterfighters* ?
what kind of fire happens in the ocean that you need something like that
There is a lot of uses for that boat
Not just for boats, but also for response to fires and emergency situations on any shoreline.
Mostly shoreline and pier fires, but a lot of container ships and cruise lines come and go from NYC.
