- 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.
The fdny also has a 1999 rearmount on govoners island
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
What an incredible overall number and variety of rigs the FDNY has. SEAGRAVE, FERRARA, KME. An awesome fleet.
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!!!!
I could spend all day in this place and still not be done.
I agree, I could spend hours just wondering around
Gorgeous rigs ... love how every company looks little different :O
Company pride right there!
These mechanics are the unsung heroes of the New York city fire department.
Your a lucky guy to get a look around this - I'm from the UK and an retired firefighter I can't believe the size of some of these vehicles. Brilliant vid :)
I pass by the one in Long Island City on my way to work everyday.
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. At The Shops. That Was About Seventy Years Ago. Capeesh, 🤺🤺🤺🤺🇺🇲 🙏🏻God Bless All The Men And Women Who Have Served, And Are Serving Our City And Precious Republic Of The United States Of America. 🇺🇲 👮🏻♀️🚔👮🏼♂️🚗🚒🚒🇺🇲 🚑 👨🏼🚒🧑🚒🧑🏿🚒👨🚒👩🏽🚒 Have A Pleasant Memorial Day.
Awesome!!! It looks like a Fireman’s Convention with New trucks on display 👨🏿🚒
What a nice shop, there's more apparatus in there than most Departments have.
I’m shocked to see this all new Tiller 169 , wow very nice Rig, that means FDNY is about too open a Brand New FIRE station in one of three borough’s Queens , Brooklyn or Staten Island, I would love to find out where 🤔
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
Squad 61 mural is beautiful!
I See My FDNY Buddies Rig 🚒🇺🇲128 Is In For A Tune Up. Great Crew 👨🚒👨🚒🧑🏿🚒🧑🚒👨🏼🚒🧑🏾🚒👨🏼🚒👨🏼🚒🧑🚒, Along With Good ⛽Mechanic, Keeps Them The Best In The World 🌎 Capeesh.👍🏻🇺🇲
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!!🇺🇸
Sweet.......worked Light Duty there in "another life"......delivered tools to Battalions.
the maintenance budget to fix these must be huge, the guys who work here would never stop working.
I’d love to know the number. I worked for a municipality with almost 100 trucks and we were at 1.3 million a year
Sure wish the Tucson Arizona fire department could get fdny rigs. More hose more everything.
Sure would like to have that Snap-On route!
Well done thank you.
You are one lucky guy!+
They have the best equipment
Amazing they have any ladder trucks on the road after seeing this video… dang.
TL 124... Looking marvo..
The Tonka Truck!
That's a red square that I've visited many.Many a times back in the seventies eighties nineties until I left staten island came out to p a and I don't see jack
Cleanest repair shop I’ve ever seen
Great video Jack, liked, subscribed and shared your video and your channel 👍🏻🚒
Thank you
@@Jmccarthy298 No problem 👍🏻
I’d love to work there.
Tonka?! I thought they only made toys!
All new vehicles love it
Im going to be an FDNY Firefighter and be in the Fire Truck 🚒
Where’s the shop located?
Long Island City, Queens.
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???
0:04 BRAND NEW 2024 SEAGRAVE 100 FEET REAR MOUNT AERIAL LADDER TRUCK 8 “GHOSTBUSTERS” FIRE DEPARTMENT CITY OF NEW YORK (FDNY) UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA).
Alot cleaner than when I worked there and now its got central air
Anyone know why they don't buy Seagrave rescues? Everything else is Seagrave.
I believe Seagrave got the contract back so the next batch of rescues will be Seagrave
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.
Wow! Huge shop, are reserves stored there as well or stored elsewhere?
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.
Reserves are stored in various firehouses throughout the 5 boroughs.
Are there any Seagrave or Ferrara contractors/employees on premise, or is the shop purely staffed by FDNY?
No only staffed my members of the FDNY
@@Jmccarthy298 Thanks, Jack.
I didn't know FDNY had a tiller truck
13 of them
I wish I could be working in one of the facilities and help maintain the fleet of engines... I trained for this kind of thing nearly ten years ago...... I would like to know where I can go to take their tests......
I know tower lader 44 has been very busy lately
@@stevenjoyce9414 They are a very busy company
❤
Jack, do you know much about the history of Seagrave and the FDNY? I consider both the Nation’s best!!
Where is this located and is this open to the public? Would love to see this shop.
It is located in Queens however I do not believe it is open to the public
Good video.
Great day! How many pieces of equipment are in that shop?
On a day to day basis it can vary but only including rigs in for routine maintenance the number is most likely around 20
Do they have to take every rig out when they want to move one?
No they have bay doors to drive the rigs through. The shop is also very wide so they can move rigs through
Is this a museum?
@@AndrewPape-x8x No it is the mechanical shops
like watching paint dry
Is there and trucks left in service or are they all in this one shop??
This place is huge. I've never seen a garage this big.👍
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.
@@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.
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
@@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.
I assume the manufacturer's reps visit the FDNY shops on a regular basis also to assist the mechanics and techs.I also am impressed with the size of this particular building.Thanks for bringing this to us,the general public.
Is the Tonka Truck 95' now?
No
when will eng.60, to lad 17 get new vehicles
Cummins power
1:11 hold up, their retiering a kme already? Im not talking about the seagrave, the kme with the number 3 on it is missing the turn signal, grill light and also the chrome around the headlights
No, it is most likely in for maintenance
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
I know Boston had problems with their KMEs. I think they only have 1 left. @@Yupyup535
Respect super les camions
Where was everyone sleeping? Place is dead. 😵
They sent the mechanics home early due to the Fire Bell Club Meeting. Some of the head mechanics were there though
