This truck is insane, talk about throwing some water on to a fire. 8000 gal from the main gun and then 2000 gals each rear gun, incredible. Definitely a great truck to have especially in a big city with big fires. Thanks For Showcasing These Trucks For Us.

Skyler, Thank you for being able to be part of the Super Pumper Training. 1982 to 2023 is a long time between Super Pumpers! But technology did advance 4.5 " to 6" hose. 5200 gpm on a much smaller rig that can haul it's own hose and more satellites, than before... Son of the Original Super Pumper!!!! I think it still needs a Super Tender with 8" hose! I am sure that it was considered. Standing by for a 10-86! 👍👍👍to S.F.

This is so cool! I was around for a previous version of the super pumper. I was in about 7th grade, so pre-1970. The equivalent of the two trailer mounted pumps was a single tractor-trailer pump unit that could draft water from special man holes that had direct water from the bay. With it were 4 tenders with a huge deck gun and several thousand feet of 6 inch hose. The pump unit could pump on six 6 inch lines. I clearly remember the big MAC truck logo on the tractor unit. Just what is needed now a days for electric car fires. I was wondering when they were going to bring this idea back. Need to flood the 7th or 8th floor of a high rise? This truck can do it! And Fast. I do wonder if they have hose tenders that bring 8 inch lines to where they are going to deploy one of the trailers. The whole idea of the Large Diameter Hose (LDH) is cutting friction loss, so you really need the 8 inch hose. This has the potential of parking a fire boat within a couple thousand feet of anything burning.

Great catch of super pumper training from a guy that’s old enough to watch the original super pumper. Being fed from both SOC hydro sub units and a marine unit. In all my years as an engine chauffeur ( not FDNY) it was strictly forbidden to supply any engine or device with mixed non portable water and potable water from a hydrant. If any DEP officials see this post I’m sure they’ll have a serious talk with FDNY administrators. Incidentally I think they should call this unit super pumper 2 out of respect for the original unit.

@thomasfreeman7770

Жыл бұрын

@@tjlovesrachel In the early 20th century NYC had a separate fire main system. It was in place in parts of Manhattan and the Coney Island area. It was used for high volume flow incidents before pumping engine technology was what it is in the second half of the century or today. Hose lines and or devices could be attached directly to the hydrant with no engine needed. It was shut down mid century due to the cost of maintenance and its age. Even then though the two pump stations were supplied off the potable water system. The stations were located close to waterways and had manifolds that would allow pumping from a fire boat into the system. I don’t know if this was actually done through because the whole system would need to be flushed afterwards because leaving salt water in cast iron pipes would be very corrosive. In my own experience any chauffeur or officer assigned to water supply would face strict discipline if found mixing water sources. I’m sure the DEP has regulations on the paint on hydrants that denote that a hydrant may or may not be fed from a potable source as in many cities.. The hydrant in this post is painted as a potable hydrant. The pump stations on the old system had strict procedures to operate valves to ensure non potable water was not introduced into the potable system.

@thomasfreeman7770

Жыл бұрын

@@SkylerFire Thanks for your response Skyler. I’m sure the DEP does know about this unit but the cross connection hook up shown is the video is illegal almost everywhere I can think of. If the potable system pressure fails for some reason. The pressures from the fire boat and the submersible pump could easily push non potable water into the potable system endangering the health of thousands of people. If I or any other chauffeur was found mixing water sources , we would have faced strict disciplinary action. As far as the unit’s name in my opinion they should show some respect to FDNY history and the original super pumper.

holland started it with the hydro sub mote system, every fire service in the uk has at least 2, however ours are transported on a prime mover- a fire truck which drops off the units using a hook lift, we got them after 9/11 when the government decided they where needed. it must be noted one of the first services in the uk to have them was shropshire, they are mainly a rural service and had regular water supply issues. the prime movers are usually based on MAN or scania chassis. Funnily enough my local fire service Cheshire has one in use at a call right now, alongside 12 other appliances.

I understand that there’s few pieces of unique equipment that’s being set up here and with there own ways of being set up. And I understand only in unique situations.

And hydrates can’t supply some of them , and do they practice in extreme cold or is there a temperature limit per system? Yes I do have a few questions if anyone can answer one or more. I would appreciate it. Because I can see the benefits of each being used for unique situations.

The large hose tender that ran with the pumper unit had what in my opinion amounted to a fair sized walk in closet that contained fittings the could be used for every conceivable water supply scenario. Any officer or fire fighter assigned to the super pumper was considered a water supply wizard in my opinion.
