That's not 96th Street, that is the Village, around 10th Street. St. Joseph's Church in the first shot gave it away to me, then the old courthouse and women's prison (the red brick building).
@rwf36 Truck is Satellite 1, carrys canisters of foam, large armounts of 5" supply line and the monitor i believe is a 5" monitor. They are used to spray large amounts of water pretty much.
Satellites used to be a part of the super pumper system (google it) and since that was taken out of service...the satellites now carry alot of foam, ALOT of supply hose (5") along with a massive monitor.
I just like the feel and sound of the city. You know the city area and cars going by honking at each other and being in the area of the Library that Heavnick7 is talking about.. :)
Originally the Satellites were built to support the Superpumper System. After the Superpumper was scrapped FDNY kept the satellite concept in operation. Just throwing alot of water at a fire.
A satellite truck is called in for very large fires where even more water/power is needed. Hence the huge ass deck gun. The FDNY currently runs 5 satellite trucks, I think.
The back right cabnit is foam storage I believe. Not to sure why they call it a satellite but they use it for heavy fire supression and they can pump water to I believe up to 5 different engines at a fire scene.
