The term, "Satellite" means that it was a "satellite" of the long-gone FDNY Super Pumper System. Even though the Super Pumper itself was disposed of years ago, the name stuck. In this video, they were not responding to a local fire, but a greater alarm fire usually geographically far away. Unlike when the Super Pumper was around, the Satellite is seldom used for it's original function...that being a heavy-caliber stream supplied with large-diameter hose (LDH). Today it's primarily used for its large hose bed of LDH,....if it's used at all. The Satellite itself is not a "company," but under the command of the officer, and manned by the firemen, of the Engine Company they're housed with, in this case, E. 72. The Engine Company has its own local responses for "routine" fires, but if they get tied up at one of those, there are other local companies that can come to their quarters and take the Satellite. There are 6 Satellites throughout NYC. They respond on all 2nd Alarms in their respective response areas.
Interesting. I understand why they aren't separate, but it would be interesting and perhaps more flexible if they were. Yes that would mean extra staff but if the Engine goes out on a call and the Sat is needed for another call with no other unit available to claim it, that kinda defeats the purpose of it not being staffed continuously. Thats just my 2 cents though.
@Andres Grullon: It was cool the way the Officer/Captain engaged with you while waiting for the trucks to pull out of the station so he could close the doors. This was a good catch. Keep them coming.
No matter, never underestimate the FDNY ability to mob a scene if required in short order. Depends on call, how many alarms, many variables. They can haul ass if required, say if the call had been for small child trapped or something, you will see some hustle.
@@dug2fire well the faster they hurry could also cause body issues and if you’re first due you’re normally quicker but they don’t rush to fast because they don’t want to accidentally injure themselves or other firefighters
@Golden Gaming hurt themselves getting in the truck? Are you serious? If you can't get in a fire truck without getting injured you need a different career.
E72 is out the door in 2 mins flat. Thats standard response time for FDNY unless the call demands otherwise. Believe me when I say it, when they need to haul ass they do.

@@51hankyspanky7 they have one that the just got. But not even remotely close to the old one. The new one is an engine style with a 5250 gpm pump if I remember reading about it correct
Man I've seen volunteer fire departments roll out faster than the majority of FDNY stations. About every FDNY video I've watched they just casually walk around and hangout till hopping on the truck and leaving.
Dude it depends on what call/run and or job they get dispatched to in this case they were requested to go to a 2 alarm fire and went slow because they knew they would not be used
A Satellite Unit is actually 2 rigs. One is the regular Engine the company uses on a day to day basis, although it is a 2,000 gpm pump. The second rig (which only goes if special called) is a large hose wagon, with large sized hose, a manifold, foam, and other stuff to supply a large amount of water.
If they are responding on a second alarm and are going to drag their feet that much, they shouldn't be allowed to run lights and sirens. The time they would have saved by doing so was probably wasted.

It carries large diameter hose, foam, and a large deck gun and responds to multi alarm fires and whenever special called. There are 6 of them spread through the 5 boroughs
@@weselliott8699 A satellite truck is basically just the second part of an engine company, they don't often respond however. And some don't even have one. That's really what I understand.
Satellites are hold-overs from when FDNY had the Super Pumper back in the 1970s. The Super Pumper was a tractor-drawn, 7-stage (I think), DeLaval, 10 or 20,000 GPM pumper. The pump took up the whole trailer, so they built 5-6 Satellite Units which carried nothing but 5” hose and massive Stang deluge guns which the Super Pumper supplied. The Super Pumper was decommissioned long ago, and the Satellite Units are kept on as combo: Hose trucks/deluge gun trucks/Foam Supply trucks (which you can see the buckets of foam concentrate in this video really well. Since the Super Pumper is gone, I’m guessing certain FDNY Engines have high-pressure/high-flow pumps to supply the monitors on the Satellites. Engine 72 here seems to have a strange and complex pump panel on the officers side with many LDH inlets/outputs.

Home boy on 72 just takes his good ole time. On the phone. Geez, two and a half minutes to get out of the house.

Sort of
What’s a satellite vehicle
Nice!
Holy shit they take forever. In my city its out the door no more than 50 seconds after the tones drop
Is that for 1st due or 5th due? Because these guys were 5th due, meaning there was already units on scene and the fire was already contained.
