Greetings! I love watching the channel's videos, mainly because I've been a firefighter here in Brazil since 2012, when I'm watching the videos my wife asks if I'm off duty or on duty lol, thank you for this video. hug!!!
That is an one Impressive Well Equipped Engine! Great Idea on having/carrying a water jug/dispenser to keep FF's hydrated! Thanks for Another Informative Fleet Friday Skyler!👍
Great Video! I used some of your detailed videos to approximate the lighting configuration of new Ladder 169 for my 1/15 Lego scale model. I'm looking forward to seeing it in Action and check if got it about right :)
On the officer’s side pump panel the white painted discharge can be seen. This is the only discharge that is plumbed to the third stage for high pressure operations. Many other high pressure engines also have a rear high pressure discharge. There’s never a high pressure discharge on the chauffeurs panel so he won’t be close to it if a hose should rupture. Also of interest in the fittings compartment is the water fountain fitting. A short brass tube maybe 1/2 inch in diameter with a 90 degree elbow on the end. This can be attached to a discharge and be cracked open to provide a drinking fountain for fire fighters.
On this engine the only two discharges on the Officer's side are the blue and the black (which is 3" and used for high pressure). The white discharge is the 4-1/2 on the rear (adapted down to smaller diameters). This engine is equipped for pressures above 250psi when pumping into a building system using the red hose, but it is not a 3-Stage HP pump. Does not have the maroon 3rd stage HP 3" outlet on the rear and does not have the green 3rd stage HP 3" outlet on the OFF side.
@@firemann57I was gonna ask why the pump panel didn't have the 3rd gauge, which denotes the HP pump. But, you answered my question. 😂 Also, doesn't FDNY have as part of the apparatus city number HP following the number?
Skyler, A High Pressure Engine is High Rise Standpipe pumper? The more high rise buildings in a neighborhood, then more HP Engines. When FDNY painted their engines red, you could pick out the HP engines, they had white cab tops! Great walk around! 👍👍👍
Another good video .... does FDNY have their own thread on their couplings ..... I noticed a Bresnan Distributor (cellar nozzle) in one of the compartments ...
As always your videos are great. One thing could I ask if possible. When you use abbreviations could you then use the full terminology of that equipment. My dad is a retired firefighter in Plymouth United Kingdom and I am a FDNY buff. Keep up the good work, Neil.
Fleet Friday is a fabulous series! Am I correct that the only type of FDNY pumper not yet covered in the series is one of the 3-Stage HPs? Any plans for that? Will be interesting to compare the videos of the 4 types if/when you video a 3-Stage.
Yo Skyler, you think for a fleet Friday you could it for Truck Company 113 I know they’re apparatus is the same as a 23 rearmount but it would be cool to see
Well done 👍 I am wondering 💭 why the empty seat 💺 is not being used. Is it because of the department’s budget or is it because of space in the interior? Will the FDNY have removal seats 💺 in the interior to carry more tools 🧰?
I dont believe that's what it is used for. I could be wrong but if you've ever tried to line up to connect any 2 fixed points with a hard sleeve its a massive pain and wouldn't make sense for getting the plug. If I had to guess, it could be for parallel pumping but its something I havent seen in a long time. The have the double female steamer adapter though which we stopped carrying since soft sleeve doesn't allow for it. When I went thru pump ops in the 90s we still practiced it and if you had an amazing plug you could connect the first engine to the plug and then the second engine to the opposite side steamer which meant any extra volume the first pump couldn't move would flow thru to the second engine. It was more realistic when you had single stage or lower volume pumps than now. A 2,000gpm pump will eat up up all but the best hydrants but when 750 or 1000 was normal parallel pumping was much more useful. It still doesn't make a lot of sense but could be an anachronism that they haven't ditched yet. We had the double female coupling for the steamer on one of ours until a year ago when it was pointed out that we run all soft sleeve that can't be used with a pressurized source.
@@alexkitner5356 Nope that’s exactly what’s it used for. There’s several videos on here showing the engines hooked up to hydrants with their hard suctions.
@@alexkitner5356 They use hard sleeves a lot of times when they think they will pump the hydrant to a point it will collapse soft sleeves. There are a bunch of pics of them doing this.

That is a well stocked engine co!
Thanks Skyler..... . Very informative.
For sure! Thanks for watching
As always a great look at one of FDNYs finest companies. Thanks for a great video tour.
Our pleasure!

Cool thanks for watching
Awesome video 🙂
I saw a picture of E23's firehouse the area looks very busy. Cool little firehouse too.
🔥 🚒💨
Thanks for watching
It's actually pretty incredible what they do on a daily basis and seemingly so effortlessly
For sure!
Great description and presentation loved the write up you had below about this particular engine company and the job each member has 👍 17:36
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you. Another great video!

23 is not a third stage pumper. The white fitting is just a high pressure fitting

@@robertmcsorley4001I think you're right - the 3-stage pumps do have an "HP" suffix added to the shop number.
This is an outstanding video, I love it! So interesting to have this in depth tour of this FDNY pumper.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like that bell rope! COOL...
Yes
FDNY engine 23 is the best company in the world
One of them for sure!
Great video Skyler! Thank you
My pleasure!
great video thank you

Hi Skyler! Hope u enjoyed your vacay. Cant wait til you cover tower ladder 12, my favorite!
Thanks not done yet and not sure about TL12
Thanx Skyler that was really terrific
Thanks
Skyler another good information Friday
Glad you think so!
Great job Skyler ... Those are my Boyz ...
Thanks
Great job explaining everything

Yes
@@SkylerFire Thank you .... I thought that was the case ...
Great video as usual . Do you know what the different colored tape is for on the nozzle bales ?
Usually that’s the companies colors
As always your videos are great. One thing could I ask if possible. When you use abbreviations could you then use the full terminology of that equipment. My dad is a retired firefighter in Plymouth United Kingdom and I am a FDNY buff. Keep up the good work, Neil.
I will try if you have any questions leave in the comments thanks
Great video as always. What is a subway bag?
Has subway keys and stuff for the subway
@@SkylerFire ok. Thanks
As always great job I love how u guys show the job !!!!
Thanks

Thanks I will have to look and see what 3 stage engine I can do.
Absolutely beautiful rig! Where is it stationed, and is it stationed with any other companies? Keep up the great work!
Manhattan W 58 Street, single engine company
Another great video !
What is the complement of the “subway bag “??
Subway emergency exit tools and keys
God I love these videos
Thanks 😊
and they got a bell!
Yup
Yo Skyler, you think for a fleet Friday you could it for Truck Company 113 I know they’re apparatus is the same as a 23 rearmount but it would be cool to see
Not on my list sorry
Nice! Any idea when the new 169 /the new tillers are heading into service?
Not sure it had issues
Skyler, what is the difference, between reg pressure and high pressure?
Greater than 250psi…
There is over 400 High Rise Buildings that are over 30 stories in height need more pressure to get to higher floors
@@SkylerFireWhat’s a standard FDNY pumper pump at?
Seagrave...hand built toughness and still the best!
Thanks for showing us what’s on a engine company rig. I wonder what make of engine do the crews like?
Seagrave no questions asked
Hell yeah idk why but i love 23 house
Great house for sure
I m curious,why 2 1/2 to
1 3/4? What is the benefit of this? I know a few things, but this is unknown to me. Thank you for another fantastic video.
It’s 1.75 at the nozzle 6 lengths then into 2:5 you can’t go more then 6 lengths of 1.75
The hose is easier to carry. It is an FDNY tradition.
What is the other fitting in the front bumper ? Intake or discharge
Discharge
@@SkylerFirethank you great video
For some reason I thought FDNY only bought Pierce fire trucks. Did they stick with certain brands, or just whoever is cheapest and meets the spec?
Been Seagrave long time little KME and Ferrara and now everything will be going back to Seagrave
Can we get a fleet Friday on rescue one hope you had a good vacation.
Rescue one is not ready for a fleet Friday yet so idk if it’s gonna happen .
Is that an intake on driver side front bumper under where trash line hook up is ? It had a cap on it??
Discharge
@@SkylerFire thank u keep up the great work
Well done 👍 I am wondering 💭 why the empty seat 💺 is not being used. Is it because of the department’s budget or is it because of space in the interior? Will the FDNY have removal seats 💺 in the interior to carry more tools 🧰?
The extra pak was getting tested but this is not a 5 man engine company
@@SkylerFire thank you 🙏
Are they considered basic life support or advanced life support
@@tjs6558 CFRD which is a step below BLS
Figured I'd mention that most equipment in the first compartment is designated as an Appliance
Yup
Wait. Engine companies have traffic advisors?
@@RedHat2023 was added not to long ago started with E69
Can you do FDny ambulance
Working on it
Can someone explain the hard suction for hydrants?
Hard Suction is a maneuverable 10 foot suction that can be used when the engine is parked ontop of the fire hydrant

It is not a "truck." It is an engine.
Ok….
When a dry chemical or co2 extinguisher gets discharged who is responsible for recharge
I know the FDNY keeps a ton at the warehouse. Not sure if they get sent out tho
193 engine co. that is hard to see that many never mine the other equipment maybe u could do a story of the famed eng. 82 and Mr Smith
197 engines
are the squards counted in the engine count
@@james-i1d no
@@SkylerFire that is unreal can not think the amount of equip. just the fire dept have never mind PD or the maint. dept has that just blows my mind
Where are the super pumpers at
Only one so
@@SkylerFire where it at ?

lololol. plumber trucks look more organized. if ya carry 2 water cans, and what point do ya pull a phuccin line instead?

Great video Skyler 😊
Thank you! 😁
