NEW YORK — A fire engine had to be rescued in Brooklyn on Tuesday.
The stuck truck was parked on the street outside Brookdale Hospital in East Flatbush when a 15-foot-deep sinkhole opened up and swallowed its front right wheel around noon.
About a dozen firefighters stacked pieces of wood near the tire of the Engine Co. 257 truck to keep it from sinking deeper into Rockaway Parkway. But one of the planks then sprang out and hit two of the emergency responders.
