FDNY Ladder 128 pulled Engine 325 out of the intersection of Skillman Avenue and 50th Street in Sunnyside, Queens.

Using a chain that was first connected to the front of the engine, the ladder truck tried, in reverse, to pull the engine free of the area where it was stuck and its wheels where spinning.

When that didn't work, the firefighters connected a chain to the back of the engine and used the ladder to pull it down Skillman Avenue.

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe called 535 National Guard personnel to active duty when he declared a state of emergency ahead of the snowstorm on Thursday.

According to scanner traffic, several emergency vehicles have asked for help digging out of the snow throughout the afternoon.
