This photo was taken during one of the harshest winters in New York City. As I briskly walked towards my destination, with the snow hitting my face, I looked up and saw a fire truck in the distance.  I saw the FDNY men rushed from the truck to go to the area of emergency. The snow was blowing so hard that visibility was difficult. I quickly reached for my camera and took this photograph.
