Firehouse, Hook & Ladder Company 8

BEWARE OF THE GHOST THAT COME WITH IT.

iconic firehouse

A firehouse may not seem like a convenient place to want to film a movie, but when your filming ghostbusters it is.

Ghost busters is a movie about four men who investigate paranormal activity throughout New York City. However, there comes to be a supernatural crisis, that requires the men to have to save the world from a sudden release of Ghost throughout the city. When trying to save the world they set up their headquarters in a fire house, which becomes an iconic setting to the movie.

The movie was originally made in 1984, with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and Harold Ramis. Of course the firehouse was also used in the second and third Ghostbusters movie. The firehouse was even used in the reboot in the movie recently (2016) with women as the ghostbusters instead of men, starring Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig, and Leslie Jonas.

The firehouse holds a special place for many as it holds nostalgic memories for many, and for good reason the movie or movies transport you to the same city but one in which the supernatural exists. It's a what if scenario brought to life.
