Late Monday night, a number of Brooklyn engine companies -- including 205, 207 and 118 -- responded to an automatic alarm in the basement at the Jehavah Witness factory building at 220 Water Street between Jay and Bridge Streets, at the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge.

They tore around the building, then parked outside.

Ten minutes later, they had all departed. Apparently, a false alarm.

At 12:01 a.m., technically early Tuesday a.m., the alarm went off again.

At 12:03 we heard fire engines rushing to the same location.
