Bus crashes into scaffolding New York, NY. On July 17, 2014 at around 8 a.m., FDNY firefighters were alerted to an accident at 41st Street near 10th Avenue in the Hell's Kitchen area of Manhattan. FDNY crews arrived to find a bus that had crashed into scaffolding. 44 passengers needed to be removed from the bus through a small opening. The scaffolding had to be stabilized before the bus could be removed. According to published reports, two people were transported and treated at an area hospital. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

FDNY HOUSES by Larry Woodcock
Many things including projects and brownstones characterize Manhattan Valley, a neighborhood above the Upper West Side, but it is also home to some of the city’s most endearing architecture and monuments. Originally part of the Bloomingdale District, the neighborhood began to fill out in the late 1800’s with the establishment of the subway system making the neighborhood easily accessible and attractive to the mass influx of immigrants. One notable landmark was the New York Cancer Hospital located at Central Park West and 105th Street. Built in stages between 1864 and 1890, it was the first hospital dedicated specifically for the treatment of cancer. It offered what many consider the best in treatment that was available at the time. In 1955, they moved out of the facility to a new East Side location that grew to become the present day Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. And by 1974, the building fell into abandonment and disrepair. It was slated for demolition until the Landmark Preservation Commission stepped in and was able to get the building designated a historic landmark. It lay vacant for three decades. In 2000, it was bought and converted into luxury condominiums. It is an ornate, castle like structure that resembles a French chateau. This area is also home to 76 Engine, 22 Truck, and the 11th Battalion at 145 West 100th Street off Amsterdam Avenue. This is one of the few firehouses that was built with a bay to incorporate the battalion car. Not many people would think that this neighborhood was once home to a brewery, but it was. The Lion Brewery, which produced here from 1857 until it closed in 1944, at its peak occupied six square blocks from 107th to 109th Streets and from Columbus to Amsterdam Avenues. Apartment houses now occupy the former factory. In a city full of monuments and history, nothing holds more meaning to the fire department then the Fireman’s Memorial situated on a bluff overlooking Riverside Drive and 100th Street in 76 and 22’s first due area. Originally proposed for Union Square, it was changed to Riverside Drive due to it’s collection of monuments, tree-lined streets, and elevation. Designed by Architect Harold Van Buren Magonigle of New Jersey, the memorial is made up of a grand staircase leading up from the sidewalk to a plaza with a fountain basin to the central monument. Made of marble, the sarcoph-
LARRY WOODCOCK
agus-like structure has a massive bronze sculpture of horses taking an engine to a fire. The bronze replica is an actual photo of Engine Company 83 responding to an alarm in the late 1800’s. The sculptor, Attilio Piccirilli, was born in Italy and came from a family of master stone carvers. He did carving at his studio on 142nd Street in the Bronx. The memorial was dedicated on September 5th, 1913. Each October, thousands of uniformed firefighters gather here to honor the memory of firefight-
ers who lost their lives in the line of duty, to the men of the Fire Department of the City of New York who died at the call of duty, soldiers in a war that never ends; this memorial is dedicated by the people of a grateful city. Whether you are a firefighter or not, this is a monument that should not be overlooked. Some say this firehouse is not like older ones built at the beginning of the century, lackluster for the most part, too modern; but it is the history of those companies that provide the character.
When this house was built in 1960, many buildings in the neighborhood were being built as well; therefore, it was design consistent with that style and era. 76 Engine was organized on April 15, 1904 and its firehouse was at 105 West 102nd Street. In March of 1957, they moved in with 22 Truck at 766 Amsterdam Avenue until they moved into the current firehouse in December of 1960. 22 Truck was organized on April 21,1891 and moved into 766 Amsterdam Avenue until Decem-
ber of 1960 when they moved to the current location. The 11th battalion was organized on August 30, 1884 and bounced around to several locations including a short stay in the Bronx before being placed here in December of 1960. Between the three companies, there have been eleven line of duty deaths along with numerous unit citations and medal winners. - LARRY WOODCOCK

sides by five and six story brick OMD’s that all had to be evacuated. At 1:16 a.m., a third alarm was transmitted as fire broke through the roof in the rear. Members were withdrawn from the building and operations went defensive. Eventually five alarms were sounded bringing about 200 firefighters to the scene. Three tower ladders operated from the A side, and multiple lines were operated
from the front as well as the roofs of the exposure buildings. Much of the roof remained intact, not allowing the streams to hit the seat of the fire. It was not until 9:34 before the fire was able to be placed under control with no extension to the exposure buildings. One child was transported to the hospital with smoke inhalation, but it is not considered life threatening. Several firefighters were treated for minor injuries. The cause is under investigation. - BILL TOMPKINS

If you’ve been listening to recent news then you are aware of incidents where EMS personnel have been called to task because of an alleged delayed or half-hearted response. The EMS community is in an uproar because the bulk of the criticism seems to come from folks who have no experience in emergency response. Meanwhile, we, and many of the critics, have not been present at a scene to see firsthand what actually transpired and eye witness accounts may be tainted by emotions. Allegations of wrong-doings affects all of us, we feel that everything we do is subject to inspection, we worry that outsiders are waiting to “catch us” doing something stupid, foolish or wrong. …actually blaming first responders (police, EMS, and fire) is nothing new. Family members will often look to place blame when they lose a loved one - maybe it’s just a stage of grief - there is denial that the deceased was sick enough or injured enough to actually die. They look to rationalize; maybe anger even helps them avoid their pain. Sometimes, thankfully on the rare occasion, there was a mistake made… the definition of a mistake is “an action or judgment that is misguided or wrong”. Mistakes are not done purposely or vindictively. They are not planned and no one started their
EMS response under fire shift deciding to cause harm. Sometimes the more chaotic the scene and possibly the more services involved, each with different responsibilities, the more possibility things will not happen systematically and mistakes may be made. Rarely, very rarely, there is carelessness or personal triggers that bring about human reactions that may, in the long run, cause harm or worse. In our litigious society, cases such as this are scrutinized intensely. Whether or not the scrutiny and blame are justified, and hopefully the inquiry will be fair and impartial, such events cast suspicion over all EMS workers. Even if the investigation later declares innocence of wrong doing, no one really gets out un-scarred. There will always be doubt and rushes to judgment from others and by the EMT/paramedic himself. When a person dies, first responders may feel guilty. EMTs and paramedics will second guess themselves and wonder what they could have done differently in the treatment that might have made a difference. Rescuers who “fail” to save a patient will begin to believe they are a failure - they haven’t fulfilled their purpose to save people, all of the training they took means nothing, there is a lot of self blame. The EMS responder, who loses a patient, experiences a form of survivor guilt. When that guilt simmers, the rescuer continues to doubt their training and their skills. They become afraid to forget the patient and “fail” them again by
moving on. This continued guilt can snowball into depression, burnout and sometimes the use of crutches like alcohol or drugs - a “recipe for disaster”. Every EMT, paramedic and first responder has experienced bad calls. Every health provider has experienced the loss of a patient. It’s impossible to be in this business for any length of time and escape the tragedies and recriminations. Responding crews may want to talk about the call among themselves (remember HIPPA). Remember to be realistic in your memories. Don’t secondguess your actions based on what you did not know at the time things were happening. It’s important to acknowledge that you are human and not allpowerful. Things can happen that are beyond your control. Don’t allow the angry, tearful and grieving comments made by family or friends of the patient to be taken out of context. Do not personalize the analysis of other EMS responder actions especially when guilt has been implied in unrelated situations. Learn from the events of your call and be sure that you are always doing the best based on your training and the tools you have available. Be sure to accurately document all findings, treatment and circumstances in case you are required to defend yourself. And never hesitate to make use of CISD if you are “haunted” by the outcome of a call.

It has six fires on it, all of which occur in the 1970’s. In each incident, the announcer states the date, location, how many alarms were transmitted and in some, the type of building. Not all are in Manhattan.
FDNY War Years, Volume 1 Information is sketchy probably because it may not have been available. The copyright was done in 1999. There is a second, two thirds, two fourth’s and a fifth. All are major jobs! One had at least two fatalities. In the first one, which involves the top floor and cockloft of a multiple dwelling; a collapse dumps flaming debris into the bucket of a tower ladder and requires two hose streams to extinguish. A fourth alarm was sounded for a fire in a five story building which was an exposure to a shed. It spread to the large building and advanced throughout! Fire shows through four windows at a second alarmer in a multiple dwelling. A tower ladder directs a stream into the building.
CPR can be seen in progress on a burn victim, which may have become a fatality along with another carried out wrapped in blankets. A warehouse is the scene of a fifth in Manhattan which the superpumper attended with the super tender and at least one satellite. A quick shot shows the superpumper’s pump operator. There was also a collapse at this fire. A fourth in Brooklyn (I believe) involved a factory with fire on all floors. Ladderpipes and tower ladders operate. Lastly, a third alarm involving a multiple dwelling in Manhattan has fire eventually involving four floors. A tower ladder makes rescues including a chow hound and its master. Tenants are later taken to their refuge on a bus. Plenty of fire for everyone! There are more volumes to come.
