From the FDNY Facebook page:

At 9:44 this morning, we got a call for a person trapped in a hole. A construction worker was trapped in what we call a trench collapse. He was working on the foundation of the building and some of the dirt collapsed and trapped him up to this waist,” Deputy Assistant Chief John Sarrocco. “At that point we have a technical response, which is our rescue units and EMS Special Operations Medics responding. We supported the trench with some wood cribbing, tied the victim off with a harness from a high point anchor, and we started to work on extricating him from the hole. We called in our counterparts with ConEd with their vacuum truck to vacuum some of the dirt around the victim. We also sent a rescue medic into the trench to offer critical care that the victim needed.”
“We sent one of our rescue officers into the hole to begin assessing and treating the person. It took about 45 minutes to remove him from the hole. He has serious but non-life threatening injuries and he was taken to a trauma center,” said EMS Division Chief Mark Bonilla."

Does the vacuum truck respond with any police escort or does it have its own emergency lights??

Not Sure How It Responds To The Scene.. But, I Can Confirm That It Does Not Have Its Own Emergency Lights.
