Engine 21 to Manhattan. Engine 21. Engine 221 to Manhattan, we're on this Williamsburg bridge box and one of the drivers now wants to get checked out by an ambulance. Alright, 10-4. We'll update EMS of that. And you'll still be at the same location, closer to the Manhattan project. 10-4.

For many many years it could be a car or bicycle accident. The angle downwards steps up speed so be aware and alert of the sudden acceleration. Without pushing on the gas or pedal.
