Dragonfighters: FDNY Engine 9 Ladder 6

I'm finishing up Chinatown week at the firehouse. It is Fireday Friday. My little downloaded printout of all the firehouses near where we would be was topped with Engine 9 Ladder 6's house. The Chinatown Dragonfighters. We swung by early and everything was closed up. I was able to get some pictures of the door and others of the station outside. We stopped back again just before lunch and the Ladder was out so I got pictures of what I could. Engine 9 and Satellite 1. Satellite 1 was sitting back in a dark corner and looked like it had been there a while. Satellite 1 was put in service back in the Super Pumper days and remained even after the Super Pumper days ended. While there we talked to one of the firemen about the station and the FDNY in general. He, too, started out as a PA volunteer. We again returned even later to just hang out and wait for the parade to get down our way. The buzzer buzzed and Ladder 6 was off to a stuck elevator. Watching that tiller truck maneuver down the street was awesome. They got another run just as the parade ended. I'll post some more from this station some other time.
