For anyone who's been recently you'll know that Hook and Ladder 8 is currently undergoing extensive renovation and sadly covered in scaffold (Luckily I missed it by a few days on my last visit and saw it in all its awesome glory...think I would've cried otherwise in a scene reminiscent of the ending of Planet of the Apes!)
Anyhooo, just found this article that sheds a little light on what the plan is.

Glad to hear externally they're taking care to make sure it remains the icon we know which is reassuring as was a little worried when a friend in New York said they're pulling it down!
Timescale wise I have no idea on how things work in NYC so not sure if that completed by next year thing is a guestimate or a promise (I'm going very loose guideline if it's anything like London!) but if any one has any updates on its progress along the way I'd love to hear and i'm sure it'd help us all plan our next pilgrimages.
