Videos of FDNY, NYPD, and EMS responding in NYC, along with occasional emergency vehicles elsewhere.
Call me an accidental fire buff. My now 8-year-old son became fascinated by the FDNY as a toddler. I started recording videos just for him, mostly as emergency vehicles passed by with sirens. Then I started trying to frame the vehicles up nicely and found myself getting excited when we found new units. It expanded exponentially when we started listening to Manhattan dispatch radio all day and going to anything we could reasonably and safely watch. Our first threshold is whether we think we can get there before it's over. Then we have to decide if we can walk or bike from the UWS, and if not, if traffic permits and if we think there will be anywhere to park if we take the car.
When we don't have emergency vehicles to watch, we're known to chase ice cream trucks and find other adventures; you'll find some of those videos here too!
