These are the fire units we saw while in NYC last weekend. Remember I said about Winter Storm Nemo the day before? Well no one got around to washing anything yet. First off we ran into the Explosives Unit. Thought that was interesting, then we realized they were overseeing the pyrotechnics guys wire up the firecrackers. No road flares this year. They were parked along Chrystie Street up near Hester Street. Reserve Engine 500 sat across Forsyth Street from Natalie's Bakery on stand-by for the fireworks. I got pictures of E-500 last year, too. Next is Ladder 6 out of the Chinatown station over on Canal Street. They were passing through on Grand Street. And the Fire Family Transport Van, was sitting on Broome Street over by Engine 55's station in Little Italy. The Fire Family Transport Foundation is a volunteer, non-profit organization to help the FDNY firefighters in their time of need. FFT-13 is dedicated in memory of Firefighter Thomas E. Sabella of Ladder 13 who died in the line of duty on September 11th, 2001.
