In the previous video, we saw FDNY Engine 55 as they were called to a phone alarm at the Overseas Chinese Mission at 154 Hester Street at the corner of Elizabeth Street, which is only 3 blocks away from their house, on the border of Little Italy and Chinatown. Well, we get there (I just walked there), and it turns out it was a whole lot of nothing. Just a false alarm. Either way, since the scene was so close to the house, I figured I would take some video of the other companies that responded. Aside from Engine 55 (Double Nickel), we see the Dragon Fighters of Tiller Ladder 6 and Engine 9, and Engine 7 (Lucky Seven/Magnificent Seven), Tower Ladder 1, and Battalion 1. Not much else to see here, aside from some hydrant water, hoses that were not used, and a bunch of firemen walking around and shooting the shit. All of the rigs (aside from Battalion 1), are made by Seagrave. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on May 5th, 2009.
