Years ago, I was a Firefighter in TL-18, and as a trained MPO/ECC, I was hired to drive a reserve Engine to a movie production. The movie was being filmed at the quarters of Ladder 8 on North Moore St. and West Broadway in Manhattans Lower West side. The movie was "Ghost Busters" Myself and about 25 other FDNY members spent almost 13 hours that day alone shooting the scenes from Ghost Busters #1 at Ladder 8's classic firehouse.
Alot of movies are filmed in NYC and in alot of them Reserve FDNY apparatus is used, the movie production company pay the city for the use of the reserve apparatus, and the firemen extras make a good deal of money. If the movies calls for a scene with real fire, then fully staffed apparatus is paid for by the movie production company to ensure safety and there again often reserve apparatus is used and also fire apparatus owned by private contractors that are marked similar to FDNY apparatus.
