FDNY - Brothers in battle

1980s video showing the operational profile of the New York Fire deparment. These were busy times with plenty of smoke eating !!!!

This is awesome! Brought back a ton of memories from my 1988 ride along with rescue 4!

To anyone wondering, the fourth, third and second deadliest fires in New York history are the Happy Land arson, the Shirtwaist Factory blaze and the Brooklyn Theater Fire which held the record for one hundred and twenty five years before 9\11. The Brooklyn Theater Fire does however still have the record for the deadliest domestic building fire in New York history and the deadliest not caused by terrorism.

I wonder how many of these guys were still on the job when the towers went down

[@michaelswinehart2788]

A great number.

[@helenagreen5647]

Your the beat tell that to my father how lost he's life as a fire firefighter and Cincinnati Ohio and avastin I'm his little girl be blessed

[@lorddrayvon1426]

A lot. 343 in total and pretty much every fire station in New York lost someone. If you're wondering, the heaviest group hit on that day was Ladder Company 3 which lost 11 members which may not sound like a lot but companies rarely have more than fifteen men and sometimes as few as two. It's the same company that Patrick Brown came from, the guy who reached the 78th floor of the North Tower minutes before it collapsed beside Orio Palmer. If you've seen photos of or been to the 9\11 memorial, thier utterly written off signature vehicle is the one you can find stored at the site underground. If you're wondering how many emergency personnel died that day, 378 of which most were obviously firefighters.
