"The firefighters at this site are very kind and sweet people with older adults."
"When deciding where to film the firehouse in which the good-hearted cons live and work in Chuck & Larry, there was no option but to lens those scenes in New York City. The filmmakers began their search for the perfect firehouse to use over the course of production, and found it at FDNY’s Engine 280/Ladder 132—built in 1912 and located in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. For the production, the house would be known as Engine 506/Ladder 223. The film’s production designer and 2nd unit director, Perry Andelin Blake, explains why they chose the firehouse in Prospect Heights to shoot the film. “We were excited when we found it, because it had so much history, wear and tear and living,” he remembers. “We really wanted to try to capture that in our set.” The 85-year-old station also allowed cinematographer Dean Semler multiple shots of the truck and engine as they came out of the garage, and to catch depth down the streets and establish the neighborhood. To get the flavor of Brooklyn, Semler shot a number of sequences with the guys driving down streets on the truck"
