WCBS Shares Video With Fire Department

Whenever the CBS New York O&O’s chopper is aloft over a fire, the footage from cameras is fed not only to the station, but to the FDNY’s operations center. This unusual sharing agreement was born out of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, as a way to put more information into the hands of emergency officials.
