Ironically, I believe Engine 50 was either operating at the job or on a Watch Line Assignment for one of the 2nd Alarms in question at the time of SRS131EMTFF's visit. Nice shots of the arena by the way.

Great work by the Vern's Bravest! Great to see the old E-One Tower and the Snorkel in action at a job. Nice vid!

Nice. I've always wanted to visit Engine 50. I've walked by a couple of times when I was visiting Boston, but they were always out on a run.
