Bobbo :

Why bunker pants?

TranceAddict :

Me “is the truck ok “ . AI Overview +5 Yes, FDNY Ladder 136 (part of the "Elmhurst Eagles" unit with Engine 287 and Battalion 46 in Queens) is okay. The rig recently made local news and social media rounds for successfully pushing through heavy flash-flooding on the Long Island Expressway in Queens to assist stranded motorists and handle storm-related operations, and the truck remains active and in service.

Theo Arndt :

the people that have 0 clue saying the truck wont run again and is now oos amaze me. do yourself a favor and look at your air intakes and where theyre positioned on your rigs, especially standard cab overs 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

OkieFirefighter :

So was the rig able to go back in service after or did it suck water in the intake

Ortsac :

The electrical wiring is going to rust, that truck is on borrowed time.

Grumppy75 :

And here as firefighters first responders always saying don’t go through deep puddles🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

User1234567890123456789044444 :

As long as it’s not salt water- they good to go!

JohnJ.USMC :

Our Toyne’s would never…. They have the air filter under the front bumper…. Design flew for sure!

Middle Man Twice Removed :

It’s a spare so they can care less 😂

BluScout619 :

Had two feet before it sucked water.

HuggyK1 :

Shops are gonna have a field day lol

Landon Webre :

That ain’t no ladder truck that’s a boat 😛

user2073469887805 :

Very, very, very bad decisions.

Gavin Friess :

you mean Submarine 136?

Axemanco3 :

And yet we expect the public to listen when we say turn around don’t drown!

user102930 :

So basically they destroyed a million dollar plus truck doing what they tell people not to do

user18498193338168 :

Someone should be fired

George Duron :

Why is everyone walking the tightrope? The water looks too be 2 to 4 feet deep. Just walk out……. This is not swift water, it flooded because the storm drains are blocked.

beyondnow :

That's ICE melting 🫠

Chad-Man :

So could we not deploy the ladder to reach them either from roadway above or on ground level? 😳
