That is such a Unique and Interesting looking rig!👏 And a Very Useful one too! Never Ceases to Amaze what the FDNY has in their Wide Ranging Fleet of Apparatus! Thanks for Another Informative and Interesting Fleet Friday Skyler!👍
Very cool my father works at 160 Engine and I see that rig ever time it’s really cool hope to see that rig in action one day when I join the FDNY great video keep it up 👍🏾🚒
Nice job ....just when we think you've shown us every obscure unit FDNY has, you put out another interesting Fleet Friday. Curious to know how many times a year this unit gets activated
What provides electricity for the decon functions, especially the power hungry boilers? There certainly aren't enough gowns onboard to support 250 people per hour, how do gowns get resupplied? Are the tents heated, especially the exit ones? What happens to people once they are in the exit tents? I certainly wouldn't want to walk out onto the street in January with bare feet & wearing nothing but a flimsy gown!
It has a on board generator. Decon Support Units, Squads 2nd Pieces, HMTUs, Hazmat also carry Gowns. They have heaters they can be used the Decon support unit has it. Booties I don’t think they have anything else.
Skyler, Great video walk around! I am glad that they don't get much use, for everyone sake! Special Ops or Hazmat have control of these? Thanks for what you do!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🚒
When first organized there was a City Service truck assigned. Don't know if that ever fit behind the eng. They also quartered a reserve eng a more recently.
@SkylerFire oh I didn't know I saw a video of one backing in to quarters in Manhattan a while back & thought they still had them. Mack truck is all I know & it was some kind of a Decon unit. I guess these took their place.
Thanks for another great Fleet Friday. It is great that the FDNY offers this for members and the people. I think most other jurisdictions rely on local hospitals for monetary reasons.
Most jurisdictions do not rely on hospitals for Decon. Hospitals are not equipped to handle decon, nor would they allow large numbers of contaminated patients to enter their facility. Most jurisdictions have decon set ups that are part of the hazmat unit. Smaller departments may use a trailer. Most decon is done in tents that are set up at the incident site, usually one area for ambulatory and a separate area for non-ambulatory and deceased patients to be decontaminated. Under no circumstances should you be transporting someone who is contaminated.
@@SkylerFire please understand my experience of this goes back to the early 80s and was limited as we had no incidents involving contamination except to firefighters whose decontamination was handled by the engine company using the “red snake” the reel line. We got sprayed down. Even when the contaminant was PCBs. Perhaps I should restrict my comments. As to hospitals, who set up the decontamination tents? The rural FDs I served with did not have the knowledge so the hospitals sent teams.
Cool video! On a hazmat incident where Decon is needed, will all three shower units always be assigned, or does it vary depending on size? Also does the FDNY do mutual aid to help other areas that may not have these obscure units?
So have these been in service since 06 for Decon purposes or is this a newer edition? Are they also being used by the FDNY to assist in post fire decontamination of numerous members and equipment?
Just asking??? Do the TWO special training Haz-Mat FF stay at station. Just thinking of the engine going to the call first, then the Chiefs say after meeting. Thay need the Haz-Mat rig. Just asking how is it staffing done. Thank you for all your walk through 😊❤😊
@@SkylerFire OK got it. I was just not sure how FDNY staffs rigs. You and one other are my only source But BOY what you do with Fleet Friday. It makes me feel like I am there. Your walk through is just A+ my FDNY friend. I tell people about your video and how amazing FDNY sets up Rigs and what they carry. I own a 1971 SeaGrave engine I loved the FDNY equipment and Rigs from that time period. I let kids get in the cab, pretend to drive. Trying to get young kids to think about becoming a Fire Cadet or choose that job for their working life. I just love the old style cab design of SeaGrave plus it's a SeaGrave
@@AlGenovese813 I'm not FDNY but I've been in EMS long enough and have been on several HAZ MAT calls. The water is captured in a decon pool. The contaminated water is dealt with based on what it's contaminant is. If it's something that is more of a nuisance level type contaminant or biological it will be disposed of in the sewer system so it can be treated at the waste water treatment plant (usually it gets pumped off and hauled directly to the plant). If it's chemical it will be pumped out and hauled to a special treatment facility. If it's Nuclear then it becomes what is known as "heavy water" and will be hauled to a specialized site approved by the DOE for handling Nuclear material. Thats a quick synopsis, at least for my are without going into specifics. In my area we have mobile filters and in most cases can filter the water on-site and recycle it if the agent isn't an IDLH agent.

Very cool!
@@SkylerFire thanks 👍🏾
Really interesting unit! Thanks so much Skyler for sharing 👍🚒
Thanks for watching!
@@SkylerFire You're welcome!
Awesome fleet friday! Didn't even know these existed!
Very rare
Great Job. Didnt even know it existed. Your the best Fire CZcamsr out there
Appreciate it
Awesome video and walkthrough of this vehicle. Good job. Very informative and entertaining!!!
Thanks
All good stuff, thanks mate, stay safe
Thanks, you too!
Nice job ....just when we think you've shown us every obscure unit FDNY has, you put out another interesting Fleet Friday. Curious to know how many times a year this unit gets activated
Thanks for watching. Thankfully haven’t had to use in a few years.
i have been waiting on this one
Thanks for watching
Now a nice unit on a Mack rescue
Great truck indeed!

Love that you have a chauffeur rather than a driver
Thanks for watching
Nice presentation, Skyler.
Thank you!
Smart move going/staying with the '06.
A mobile shower, cool!
Yup
Mack MR for the win.
Yup
Skyler, Great video walk around! I am glad that they don't get much use, for everyone sake! Special Ops or Hazmat have control of these? Thanks for what you do!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🚒
It’s under Special Ops Command under Hazmat
Awesome video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Could you do a fleet Friday covering one of the latest generation Rescue Units?
Possible
tight fit in that house
Yup
When first organized there was a City Service truck assigned. Don't know if that ever fit behind the eng. They also quartered a reserve eng a more recently.
That was interesting. Could you do or have you already done the simi drawn decin unit?
FDNY doesn’t have them anymore.
@SkylerFire oh I didn't know I saw a video of one backing in to quarters in Manhattan a while back & thought they still had them. Mack truck is all I know & it was some kind of a Decon unit. I guess these took their place.
Nice rig, nothing like that in Pittsburgh. Is haz-mat 1 coming soon and is it even back in service yet?
Still using a spare.

Hospitals don’t do Decon

And there’s one in Brooklyn at 283 quarters
No it’s gone. 37 & 283 went OOS about 2 years ago
Do you know what happens to the clothes and shoes that are contaminated after they go in the garbage can
They don’t get it back.
Cool video! On a hazmat incident where Decon is needed, will all three shower units always be assigned, or does it vary depending on size? Also does the FDNY do mutual aid to help other areas that may not have these obscure units?
1 Decon Shower Unit. Depends on amount of people but usually one. They do not go on mutual aid that would be a last resort type thing.
So have these been in service since 06 for Decon purposes or is this a newer edition? Are they also being used by the FDNY to assist in post fire decontamination of numerous members and equipment?
They been inservice since 2008. Technical Decon
Weird question: does the FDNY spec a certain size tire on their regs. It looks like the tires and rims are larger than other apparatus.
Thanks
Very possible. As they keep a certain amount of extra tires on rims for a quick change
Have you done a review of the tire repair truck/ personnel from the shops?
Have these showers ever been used in real life situations yet? I never heard of incidents in the city that required decon showers.
Yes they have been used a handful of times.
Have you done any videos on the R.A.C. unit.
Yes RAC 4 is posted
Another Great job. One quick question, does the crew start the boiler when they go enroute or when they go 10-84? Thanks again
When they arrive I am pretty sure. It takes alittle bit to get everything going
Just asking??? Do the TWO special training Haz-Mat FF stay at station. Just thinking of the engine going to the call first, then the Chiefs say after meeting. Thay need the Haz-Mat rig. Just asking how is it staffing done. Thank you for all your walk through 😊❤😊
Idk what you mean? This is staffed by the engine they will always go together
@@SkylerFire
OK got it. I was just not sure how FDNY staffs rigs. You and one other are my only source

Hi, Skyler. My question is what happens to the waste water. Like when you take a shower.
Decon Pools are put under the rig
@@SkylerFire thanks

"Derobe?" Is that like "disrobe?"
Disrobe *
How does FDNY get rid of the contaminated water in the pool ?
Gets put into Decon drums and DEP picks it up
do next fleet friday on rescue companies i been waiting for that for long time now
Well you have to wait
ok
FLEET FRIDAY FDNY DECOBTAMINTION SHOWER APPARATU ...
Thanks
Can you do a fleet Friday on one of the five rescues?
Also, can you do a collapse unit?
It also be cool if you went, live on scenes of incidents so we see what’s happening live
Working on it.
@@Mia-vv7we will not be going live.
And what radio scanner Do you use
@@Mia-vv7we Motorola radios
great video thanks not gonna get into pronouns
No worries!
It would be interesting to know approximately how many runs per year these more unique and specialized units go on.
Hasn’t been to anything in a few years
