FDNY All-Terrain Vehicle 168 is a 2014 John Deere Gator with a 20gpm Pump and 75 Gallon Tank of Water. ATV 168 is stationed in Staten Island with Engine 168, they will bring it to any scene they may find it useful or it may be special called by the incident commander. There is a lot of off road wooded areas that an engine company may have a hard time gaining access to like Staten Island Greenbelt Blue Trail, Yellow Trail, Clay Pit Ponds State Park, North Mount Loretto State Forest, Latourette Park, Willowbrook Park and may be special called to parts of Brooklyn & Queens for large brush fires in Gerritsen Beach area.
There is 2 of these ATV Brush firefighting rescue units and they are both stationed in Staten Island.
Engine 164 has a newer ATV using a 2018 John Deere Gator 20gpm 75 gallon tank. ATV 164 has a designated transport vehicle which is like a pick up truck with ramps. ATV 168 has to be transported in a trailer and await a vehicle to take it to a scene.
These 2 ATVs are often used for large special events such as the San Gennaro Italian Feast in Little Italy area of Manhattan and Chinese New Year Celebration in China Town in Manhattan. Those events have a very high volume of pedestrian traffic and those gators are used for EMS and Fire Protection.
Both ATVs can be used to drive around and flow water since it doesn’t have to be in pump.
