Rare Catch FDNY MERV 1 Responding with Siren to Box 897 10-77 On September 17, 2023

Rare catch of FDNY MERV 1 with siren. Engine 7 also arriving right behind it with siren & horn. Both responding into Box 897, a 10-77 for a Li-ion battery fire in Chipotle beneath a residential high rise on W56th St between Broadway & 8th Ave in Manhattan. We missed most of the action because it was knocked down quickly, but we did catch MERV arriving!

Thanks! I was pretty excited to finally get MERV with its siren on video!

Thanks! We’ve seen MERV a bunch of times, and we’ve heard it a few times, but this is the first time I managed to get it on video with the siren!
