Great video. Working for a fire marshal’s office, this would make a great scene response vehicle. I absolutely agree with the empty compartments leaving space for extra gear depending on the time of year or type of emergency. Outstanding, great job.

Your videos and commentary are great! Can you maybe show FDNY EMS some love, too? Would like to see you go through a Rescue Medics truck and ambulance, a HazTac ambulance, and the MERV and MRTU if you are willing and able. I look forward to Fleet Fridays! Thanks so much for taking the time to showcase the FDNY!

Always look forward to seeing Fleet Friday.

Another great fleet Friday! Suprised at how little equipment is actually on the Rescue Battalion considering the size of the module on the back

[phildemonte]

Another great "Fleet Friday".
I grew up in Astoria, and for the life of me I don't know why " Welfare Island" is part of Manhattan.
The only road in and out is via Astoria. Engine 260 is the closest company, and it's covered by the 114th precinct.
I remember when the FDNY training school was on Welfare Island.
Many happy adventures happened on that little sliver of rock in the East River.

Wow! Beautiful Chevy! Thanks so much Skyler for review!

[davidbott]

Thank you for another great Fleet Friday video Skyler!

[mgratk]

Excellent video as always Skyler. Amazing all the equipment they fit on that unit, with room to spare depending on needs. Very cool.

[stevewolf]

Thanks for doing this. I look forward to Fleet Fridays. Can’t wait until you do this every Friday. A great video as always.

[kevinhouse]

Another great video. All my questions were answered in others comments. I'm a old USAR Capt so I'm always interested in the Rescue Operations. Thanks.

Enjoy your Fleet Friday's. You have some very intresting access to fire vehicles, which is great. I would like to ask if you could do a
Fleet Friday on MCC1 or 2 [Mobile Command Center]. Thanks!! Keep Up the Good Work!

Thank you so much 😊❤😊 my Fleet Friday Friend 😊. I love the pullout tray table on back. That should be on all rigs with the space on back of rigs behind that is probably just frames of Rigs. Having a table outside is better than in cabs. On a Battalion Chiefs Rig in Seattle that runs out of Ballard, has same work/ Drawing try on back of his rig. My Friend just started working as Batt. Chief and showed me his vehicle. He told me he has to start driving again, he has been Officer for years, and not driven. I want to do a walk around of my 1971 SeaGrave engine just like you do, so I can do my own 😊
Personal Fleet Friday just for you. You are amazing showing all the great Equipment
FDNY puts on there Rigs. People need to see all the special equipment NEW York FD carriers.😊😊😊😊

Great video.

Not throwing shade but I was surprised by how much unused storage there was on this rig during the tour. The fact is was a prior EMS unit can go a long way to explain that but it just seemed odd.

Thanks to Skyler for posting this!

[Alfeco-dmuk]

Interesting gear, but what about the training.
Training is everything.
How are your firefighters trained???
How many weeks???

[BigDuke-mdec]

Nice job …. Can you give us some insight on what units your are doing next ?

[paggs]

I think I seen on FB that new SUVs are coming in for chiefs vehs and I’m guessing ems too, You know how many are on order?

[SHMedic]

Hey Skyler, does the rescue battalion handle day to day call out’s and personnel issues with SOC and rescue’s or does the battalion chief the unit is in handle that stuff?

[rp]

Also just want to say😊❤😊 the people that spec out the light bars for cab roof like the side rotation flasher. Gets a rotation of likht to blind spots on side of the Rig. 😊

[TedHake]

As always, great review!

Can you reveal what’s in the mysterious locked compartment?

Or it’s just empty too?
