"Isn't that unbelievable? This eagle just landed on the aerial while we're doing the 9/11 memorial. Phenomenal," Fire Chief Jerry Streich said in a Facebook video showing the eagle perched atop the ladder.





Video of the bird's visit has been viewed more than 1 million times on Facebook as of Tuesday evening.
