It's a must-see for all Ghostbusters fans. As it is a working fire station, there are always firefighters there and most are super kind and generous answering questions.

The New York City Fire Department is the largest Municipal Fire Department in the United States. In fact it's one of the largest on the planet! I'm continuously amazed at the huge responsibilities that they have twenty four hours a day, three hundred and sixty five days a year. It's my opinion that FDNY needs more resources considering our aging buildings. There's a lot of Fire Education needed for the general public. They are serving around 8 million NYC residents. People move in and out of the city. I let them know how much I appreciate their service every time I see them. I'm posting this review on Thanksgiving 2022 to once again say THANK YOU! I'm recommending you New Yorker's do the same!

Much better and more modern facilities than the Old York Town Police Department…read more The New York City Fire Department are pretty wonderful in many ways (except maybe on Law & Order when they get into fights with the cops due to shady goings on), and a lot more friendly than some of the other New York officials you might encounter. They've done a lot of Brave things over the years, not least on 9/11. It's too sad to talk about that, to be honest. I still don't think we have a clue who or what was behind that and I hope that someday everyone behind it will be brought to justice so all these brave people can have a little more peace, perhaps. This is a great house for a great crew, and everyone in the city should be thankful that they do what they do so well.

The Department's main goal is to provide fire protection, emergency medical care, and other critical public safety services to residents and visitors in the five boroughs. The Department works to continually educate the public in fire, life safety and disaster preparedness, along with enforcing public safety codes. Since its inception in 1865, FDNY has helped lead efforts to make New York the safest big city in the nation. Unfortunately I see them hard at work all too often in my neighborhood. Fires are common when you have old residential buildings. Restaurant fires are all to common too. Along with the NYPD these men are risking their lives daily. I'm glad to support their efforts as much as I can and appreciate seeing them in my neighborhood. This Fire Station is a safe haven for anyone in trouble. They are always on duty.

They do a wonderful job and also manage to celebrate the culture and history and tourism of the neighbourhood, and while doing it they actually make themselves one of the many tourist attractions in Chinatown. Wonderful work from these wonderful people. And I'm deeply sorry to all the families and firefighters here who lost people in 9/11 and my thoughts and love is with you.

We made a comment about the dragon on the front of their truck and they happily gave us a little history lesson about Engine 9/Ladder 6, the Dragon Fighters. They were really nice and knew a lot about the history of their fire company. They even put the garage door down so we could get a picture of the dragon on the door. If you ever get the chance, talk to some of the firefighters here. They're really nice and will give you a history lesson if they have time.
