firefighter111 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 At about 10:14 pm on April 11th, FDNY engines 9, 55, 15, ladder 6, tower ladder 18 and battalion 4 were dispatched for smoke in the area of Box 259 in Chinatown. Two hours later at approximately 12 am on the 12th, Chief of the Department Kilduff requested a 7th alarm assignment for the box with numerous special calls for apparatus. Just thought I'd put this up for all of you FDNY buffs to look at below are two links, one goes to a site that has a short video of the fire, and the other is transcript of the command channel at this fire.FDNY 7th alarm videoFDNY 7th alarm radio transcript Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmc123 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 A fully involved 6 story building with extensions into multiple exposures is a bit different than a 2 to 3 story house fire.True. Its different when a tall building is engulfed and its directly next to or even connected to several other building just as high. Much more people to worry about too.

Ami89E1234 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Must have been a fireworks store lol...@Ale: No, not all of FDNY was at the WTC. You still have to have some to cover for the lack of units (besides those were too far enough away to do any good anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I heard about this fire, my girlfriend was down there when the first trucks arrived, she left when they came.. She's not a fan of fires, injuries or dead people. All of which she feared seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
