Pd aviation picked it up before they made the landing, were they able to pull everybody?

So many extra PD Harbor & FDNY Marine units out there for Sail250. Think PD harbor was on scene almost immediately.

Thought that also but E 44 should be closest

Might of been tied up

Also possible that E44 was on the box as an engine. Obviously not at East 23rd St but these things often get called in with various addresses
