    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.

    What an incredible overall number and variety of rigs the FDNY has. SEAGRAVE, FERRARA, KME. An awesome fleet.

      @robertschultz6922 7 місяців тому +2

      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!!!!

      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
