Typical FDNY Response to Apparent Non Emergency Call on Roosevelt Island

Make an on-line slide show at www.OneTrueMedia.com

Any Roosevelt Island resident that lives here and certainly those residents whose apartments face into Main Street know that the Fire Department trucks are frequent visitors to Main Street and very often on false alarms or events that are less than originally called. I guess due to the size of our buildings and our semi-remote location they are required to send this many trucks.

The below video was shot at approximately 2:00 am on Wednesday March 12th. Seven fire trucks responded that morning including Ladder 115, Ladder 116, Engine 260 and Engine 262. I missed the units numbers for the remaining pieces of equipment. We greatly appreciate every time these firefighters come onto the island as younever know when one of the calls could be the real thing. we just hope one of these non emergency response takes the equipment from a real emergency.
