Hate to break it you but firefighting in general is expensive. Even your average fire truck costs upwards of $600,000 these days. People want to complain about how expensive it is but then when something happens and someone dies everyone wants to bash our first responders. This was definitely needed
Uh, a fire engine (custom) is around 300-350K. A commercial chassis one will be 50-100K less. Ladders are around 750K to a million. This boat will probably serve for 40 years or more though.
They should have the best equipment instead of Commissioners, mayors, DAs, Governors, you know what I mean. It's more important than what desk you sit at in a municipal office.
not at all. if you consider that NYC is really more like a freaking independent state than a city. this is their first new fireboat on about 80 years, not to mention that NYC has almost more commercial/industrial shoreline than any other city, also consider that they have 2 or 3 fireboats of this size, where tokyo, the nearest comparable city has 9 mid-sized fireboats.
Rashad Agee only knew what you meant cause i visited the 9/11 memorial last week. RIP to all those first responders, volunteers and civilians that died that day
Three hundred forty three firefighters who died that day... They're still dying from the effects of the pile from their work they were doing for such a long time. God bless them all. RIP.
Looks like a really good investment. In general, we should invest more in Coastguard and Fire Brigade who are often underfinanced while the military has more cash than they can spend.
I love how people say this is not needed. the port of New York and New Jersey is the third largest port in the United States with over 5 million commercial vessels entering the port yearly. FDNY is responsible for fire and medical emergencies within the metropolitan area including the coast of New York and New Jersey. this ship is stationed in Staten Island and can be anywhere in the confines of New York City or New Jersey within a short period of time.
It is more like 60 thousand gallons! Yes there are only ( 4 ) 10,000 Gpm pumps but they plumed them with a daisy loop for the added benefit of extra gallon age per min.
George CIPRA I agree but in the video it appears he is referring to just one gun being capable of that. I wish I could could see the boat in action first hand .
50,000 gallons a minute on one gun did he say? That is 1192 barrel a minute and no one will get that rate through that size pipe. He is mistaken. Maybe that much through all eleven water guns.
xanadujohn79 1. This isn't practical to use in riot situations. How many riots have you heard take place on water? 2. The police only "suppress crowds" when they turn violent. Peaceful protests are welcomed in America.
Have all the electronics on this boat been hardened to prevent EMP damage ? If Not Why Not ? EMP will render this boat a pile of driftwood at most in a fire.
Wow no one ever thought of that. It really would've cost only 26 million, but they added the convenience package for another million (floor mats, Bose speakers and EMP protection).
hmm don't know why UA-cam recommend this but. I noticed this is 8 years old. So how many times has this boat been put to use, has it justified it's 27million dollar price tag?

Can't forget about the insane maintenance cost per year.

ffjsb when was the last time you looked at prices? 20 years ago?😂

joek0617 when the 80 years of grinding finally pays off 😎
If I had a nickel for every time he said “emergencies of tomorrow” I could but myself a boat just like it
i think my local fire fighters might have a row boat and 2 buckets >_>
Cypher791 lol.
2 buckets?!? Man, you guys have it good!
Cypher791 Jeez we would be lucky to have a floaty
Breen Whitman IKR!!
Cypher791 my department gives us life jackets and red Solo cups for water fires
I love how its called Three Forty Three. 343 never forget
Rashad Agee only knew what you meant cause i visited the 9/11 memorial last week. RIP to all those first responders, volunteers and civilians that died that day
It’s the amount of firefighters that died on 9/11 if anyone is wondering
Three hundred forty three firefighters who died that day... They're still dying from the effects of the pile from their work they were doing for such a long time. God bless them all. RIP.
1:33 "Fighter Fighters" LMFAO
Ryder lol
Ryder IKR LMFAO
You caught that too, my kids say the same thing when they say im a "Fighter Fighter"
Требуется боеприпасы 1:37*
Hugo yes that is a tool for vocabulary
Looks like a really good investment. In general, we should invest more in Coastguard and Fire Brigade who are often underfinanced while the military has more cash than they can spend.
Captaining (or working at) this kind of firefighting ship must be one of the coolest jobs in the world!
In the firefighting business it's a lot better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
50,000 gallons per minute is insane!It would fill my pool in about 22 seconds!
Nice flex
......and we never were told about capacity of pump(s). Eleven 50K gpm cannons is serious flow. Even if designed to use only one at a time.
I’m ready to come out of retirement and do some shift work on this beauty. Nice boat!
that boat was built here in panama city at eastern ship builder and they did a amazing job on it!!!!
it was designed in Canada
And deployed in the Middle,
😎
Was the boat sailed all the way to new york , or was it delievered by cargo ship
A remote-controlled system that lets them control systems remotely? What a revelation!
but.. does it brew coffee?
H&NKinsha of course it doesn't lol
H&NKinsha it dose in the break room
Do it make a good slice?
To be fair nyc brings in a shit ton of tax money and there's people there that pay more than 27 mil in taxes a year
1 That's definitely not our dear President though.
gilbert martinez You can't exactly not pay taxes.
+Andrew De Jesus And most certainly not all those deadbeat libtards living in the projects.
@@literalantifaterrorist4673 lmao. Where have you been?
1:35, what the hell is a fighter fire?
lmao "this is a big big nut to swallow"
i almost choked on my skittles when he said that
its confirmed, firemen
love nuts
omg stop right now
Jrufutufyifyi guy fugu guy cut cucuufitigiificififurutr7futf u7r7r7f6 fry fry 6r6f4uthff uyr uf7dud6fygyfyyyrs tdd
$27 mil is cheap in comparison to how much the city spends on sports
lol right
good OLE NY City-always has the best of all things!!!!....keep up the good work
Shame! No mention of why she's named Three Forty Three!
Possibly after the 343 firefighters that died in 9/11?
CodenameHaswell I think he knew why, he was just upset that the news channel didn't mention it.
I worked at Eastern ship building and worked on this boat it's named in remembrance of the 343 fire fighters and cops that lost there lives on 9/11
343 FDNY
23 NYPD
37 Port Authority PD
Matt Tunis yup
I had a friend who help make this fire boat. I would love to see it in person. I wish Portland Oregon would get a new fire boat
Pretty sure the deck gun he was pointing at doesn’t put out 50,000 GPM..maybe he meant all deck guns combined.
I love how people say this is not needed. the port of New York and New Jersey is the third largest port in the United States with over 5 million commercial vessels entering the port yearly.

I expect the toilets in there to be state of the art as well. 😂
Rinse your rear with 50,000 gpm bidet.
firefighters should have the best of the best.they do a great job.i am sure most agree
Well, I would rather see taxpayer money being spent on this rather than going into DiBlasio’s pockets
Well all I can say is without seeing the ships log and call outs,...is nice boat....Sure hope the dollar to call out ratio is in line.
No heated seats? Sad
Damn 2010!?
7 year old ship :D
How big is the booster tank?
More worth it then a fcking yacht
Drinking game, take a shot every time he says tomorrow
Glad this guy is not a sales person, really sloppy data there.
Very impressive.
Water on water cool!
That's a hell of a boat
it's like a mobile fire department
You cry when you don't need it but when you do you will be happy they have it!!!
Think you not correct about the 55 thousand gallons per minute pumping capacity. Please let me know.
It is more like 60 thousand gallons! Yes there are only ( 4 ) 10,000 Gpm pumps but they plumed them with a daisy loop for the added benefit of extra gallon age per min.
George CIPRA I agree but in the video it appears he is referring to just one gun being capable of that.
I wish I could could see the boat in action first hand .
Firefighters of tomorrow. Tech of tomorrow, tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow
It's only a day away.
thats not a fire boat thats a fire yacht
It's 7 years later and has there ever been a situation where this boat was used and a smaller boat wouldn't have been able to handle the job?
Look up fireboats on brooklyn vacent warehouse fire
Did you pay for it? Do some research. Also not every use is documented on youtube.
What is the storage capacity of the water tank? At 50k gallons per minute per one pump it needs to be pretty damn big.
Just guessing here, but I would say this boat is floating in its water tank.
Yeah, the Hudson River is a pretty big tank
Ummmm.....It draws the water from the...ummm...water it floats in.
Can't believe this was a serious question. There is a water tank BTW but it's drinking water for the crew.
This is bigger than a coast guard cutter man
Wonder what new technology since 2010
"and this craft gives fighter fighters -"
Where can I purchase one of these boats? Please contact me!
first responder s deserve the best be safe
Did he say "fighter fighters" ?
how many times did he say of tommorow
Its called a SCBA
2:40 priorities during a fire lol
Want to see the 75k drone, expensive but cool as shit..
A big step up from a rocket fuel pump mounted on a DUKW.
wow cool stuff
do they treat that as a station and keep it staffed?
Cody W it's probably docked relatively near a station and ready to go 24/7 so they can just jump on if needed
1:34 did he say "fighter fighters"?😂😂
Has MTUs instead of CATs...interesting.
Noticed that MTU is gaining popularity here in the US, I'm a CAT man though Volvo Penta is looking good.
But DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK??
Actually surprised it was only $27mil. There’s a lot of mechanical equipment and technology on her.
Seriously! I would think I’d be at least double that price considering it’s a 150ft ship stuffed with top notch equipment.
wow just wow
that is very nice
SO THIS IS WHERE MY FATHERS FUCKING TAXES ARE GOING TO...
Yeah to save the lives of others it's better than wasting it on stupid stuff for spoiled brats
Paul . Alexeyenko Probably won't hear you bitching when this thing comes to keep your shity little Manhattan apartment from burning down.
“This is big big nut to swallow. Its alot” 1:20
1:34 he said fighterfighters Hahaha
How many times did he say Of today?
LOL my local fire dept has a zodiac boat
That Is Boss!
“Fighter fighter”
Would this (Ship turbocharger) fit my Honda?
1:34 *fighterfighters* ?
XD fighter fighter
1:35 lol
Take a shot every time he says *technology* or *technology of tommorow*
Crew area looks very uncomfortable.
I hope the boat doesn't catch fire.
I don't think they said "firefighters of tomorrow" or "space age" enough times. Better redo it.
50,000 gallons a minute on one gun did he say? That is 1192 barrel a minute and no one will get that rate through that size pipe. He is mistaken. Maybe that much through all eleven water guns.
Very nice 😊🙂😉☺😎😏☺
National security you say. Strange.
2010...Why was this recommended to me?
This is a priority regardless of the price.
The pipes lasted 9 months
Fucking love ny I'm gonna move there when I get older hopefully
Any plans to keep the 433 for 70 years ? Hopefully.
They plan to keep it for 343 months. 28 years is enough. The name is really a reminder.
So why couldn't we see it in action? I would've liked to see those water cannons shooting water.
the reporting of tomorrow
As it sprays fish and garbage all over then scene lmao jokes
that is big F.D.N.Y. boat
Crowd suppression tool that will pirated by the cops. What are the maintenance cost??
xanadujohn79 1. This isn't practical to use in riot situations. How many riots have you heard take place on water?
2. The police only "suppress crowds" when they turn violent. Peaceful protests are welcomed in America.
what kind of fire happens in the ocean that you need something like that
There is a lot of uses for that boat
Not just for boats, but also for response to fires and emergency situations on any shoreline.
Mostly shoreline and pier fires, but a lot of container ships and cruise lines come and go from NYC.
Ahhhh the old 360p
Have all the electronics on this boat been hardened to prevent EMP damage ? If Not Why Not ? EMP will render this boat a pile of driftwood at most in a fire.
The vehicles nowadays have too many electronics!
Do fire's generally produce EMPs?
They do not.
Wow no one ever thought of that. It really would've cost only 26 million, but they added the convenience package for another million (floor mats, Bose speakers and EMP protection).
1:34 ayyy FFS
is the ffs for "for fuck sake!"?
LimitlessDeadline It's for when they say how much it costs 😂
Let me drive it
hmm don't know why UA-cam recommend this but. I noticed this is 8 years old. So how many times has this boat been put to use, has it justified it's 27million dollar price tag?
Fighterfires 😂
Good for coastal fire otherwise!
yea no, i live in wisconsin
