Bronx 5th Alarm 05/02/13
#1
Around 0615 hours FDNY was dispatched to the area of East 226 Street and White Plains Road for a fire in a garage. The fire spread to exposure 3, a 2 story commercial building.  It ended up going to 5 alarms, and caused the shut down of the #2 and #5 subway between Gun Hill Road and 241 St during rush hour. The subway in this area is elevated, and was right in front of the fire buildings.  I got there about 2 hours into the operation.

My immediate first thought on this rig was that it looks like the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree of Fire Engines. Poor thing.
