Don't think it is FDNY, might be LAFD?

It is FDNY E205 & L118, Why?  The single door 1930's vintage firehouse where you can see "Ladder 118" just above the truck as it leaves the firehouse. Also, back in 1946, E205 did have a 1941 Mack (chrome grill) and L118 had an 85 ft. 1936 FWD. In addition, the box called out is Box 497- Hicks & Orange, they're both 1st due, it's just 2 blocks away to the left and they are going out turning left. ;)

If you also listen the engine has a "whistle" blowing instead of a mechanical siren. they did this back during the war so as not to scare everybody with sirens blowing and everybody thinking it is the air raid warnings.
