There is also talk of "Five-Oh Street" , "Division Three" and "Tower Ladder One". 
Put it all together and I think its Manhattan Box 0852 - 12th Ave and W 49th St ?

This footage was taken by Sheldon Levy of Action News. It covers...........Another 5th alarm at a vacant piano factory, Manhattan Box 852, with major collapses on mail trucks parked on the street.

-Ok, This info is right. I usually do my research,but that's what happens when I rush a post, I didn't watch this one in a long time, just posted it.(getting it up from vhs to youtube takes alot of time)......Funny thing is, Levy's footage is available to purchase from several places now, at the time I bought his stuff direct from him many years back. I know of someone (a FDNY FF) that is friends with his Son.

......Sheldon had it listed as Brookly 3rd on vid.......Guess I gotta go back and fixit :eek:

Thanks Jamie for posting that video. I had Never seen that one before. And Thank you to the Bendick family of Firefighters for contributing that video. The Members that worked those companies were a Special Breed of People. And that tradition continues today in the "Animal House".

  "R1" on a side note, do you also have the video "Fire in the Apt next door". I remember that one given by Bill Moyers about E75, L33, and Batt 19.

  Just one more thing, "R1" a few guys have asked me if you will be going to the get together at the Homefield House. I guess you've got a few Fans out there.

-Bill, On the disc TB gave me, it does have "The Fire Next Door", I xferred it form disc to computer yesterday, it has some sound issues that will probably be unfixable (by me anyway) It is almost an hour long, I may have to YouTube it in 2-parts.

-I didn't forget ya about what u asked, and I will see where I am the day of meeting.

With over 30,000 hits on 1st upload of this classic , I had time to re-do it in 1-part and better quality (1st time was video'd off tv screen) Much better now, one of my favs!! Rescue-3, many familiar faces- some retired, and some gone RIP.
