New York City Fire Department personnel at Hook & Ladder 8 have paid tribute to Harold Ramis by hanging up a sign from "Ghostbusters II" outside their firehouse. The famed Tribeca location was used as home base for Ramis' Dr. Egon Spengler and the other Ghostbusters in "Ghostbusters" and its 1989 sequel. Both films were co-written by Ramis, who died on Monday at the age of 69.
In addition to the sign, a small memorial was set up outside Hook & Ladder 8, featuring a photo of Ramis in "Ghostbusters," flowers and a package of Twinkies, a reference to one of Spengler's monologues in the film.
