a) There were no jumpers from the upper floors; but people were hanging out those windows
The first due engine must have taken some beating. After finally making it to the apartment and finding the door open, they reportedly then had to go downstairs to get to eventually get to the seat of the fire.

L10 from Liberty Street for watchline. Far trip
Dreadful.

God Bless Those Who Suffer, Those Who Mourn; And Always, Those Who Serve.
Many guys took a real beating today. Climbing stairs in full PPE, in the dark, on SCBA air doing searches of stairways, apartments and hallways. All victims then had to be carried down the stairs and out in a hurry. Many lives were saved.
Take a look at the pics of the faces of the guys out in the street afterward.

Yes indeed, I remember showing up with E 88, people were hanging out windows, I thought for sure someone was going to jump and land on me. Prayers for all those involved.
Can you post a link to this, I can’t find any old wnyf’s online..

One hell of a way for dispatcher 150 to end his career... But, he did one hell of a job today!
I've done my best to put together a run down of EMS traffic for this job. Be mindful dispatch was chaotic at times and this incident was run across 3 channels (Bronx North, Bronx South and Citywide 1) but I've done my best to put together the traffic from Citywide which was the primary channel for the incident. I hope this provides an interesting insight for members into the EMS perspective at an incident like this.

Well that was horrible to read. Strong work by the members on a terrible day.
Thank you to ALL of the Members here who have contributed to this very tragic story.
A Very Special Thanks to all of the FDNY members, the FDNY/EMS members, NYPD members, and behind the scene - the 911 and FDNY Dispatchers for the extremely difficult job they all did.

Thank you.
I'll second that! Great work!
This fatal fire took place within 1 1/2 miles (walking distance) of some of NYCs other very serious fatal fires.
On August 21, 1988, only about 1 1/4 miles away from this fire was the illegal "El Hoya social club" fire, located at 1748 Jerome Ave, corner of East 175th St.
That fire took the lives of 7 individuals
Then on March 25, 1990, only 1 1/2 miles away from this apartment building fire was another illegal social club fire which took the lives of 87 people.
That social club, called "Happyland" was located at 1956 Southern Blvd near East Tremont Ave

Only 1.3 miles away from 2017 Box 3303 that had very similar situation occur with an open door in a MD. Over a dozen lost their lives.
