Bronx all hands barge fire At approximately 6:00 p.m. on August 27, 2014, the Bronx Central Office started receiving calls for a barge fire and smoke in the area around Boston Road near the Bronx/Mount Vernon border.

Battalion 15, already on another box, advised Bronx dispatchers that there was a large column of smoke toward the area of Boston Post Road. The 15 became available and replaced the 27.

Moments later, the 15 arrived on scene and transmitted a 10-75 for a barge filled with scrap metal and crushed cars on fire, and also advised that 51 truck was gaining entry to the area by cutting the gate.

Shortly after entry was gained to the area, Battalion 15 put "all hands" to work and requested an additional tower ladder besides Ladder 51 to be put into operation.

Marine Company 4 and 6 and the Marine Battalion were added to the box due to the barge being in the water. Just on the opposite side of the creek, operating was the Mount Vernon Fire Department, hitting the barge with a ladder pipe from one of their rigs.

Shortly after Marine 6 arrived on scene, they were put right to

JUMP TO FILE #082814101

work,hitting the fire with water, foam and "Purple K". Division 7 requested a Purple K unit to respond, Engine 84 from Washington Heights in Manhattan.

Shortly after that, a "foam task force" was assigned, which consisted of Engine 96 transporting Foam 96, Squad Company 61 as the Hazmat Tech Unit, Hazardous Materials Company 1, Hazmat Battalion and Battalion 19 as the foam coordinator.

Due to the fact that the water from the barge was nearly overflowing into the water, units stopped attacking the fire and awaited permission from the Coast Guard to overload the materials in the water, which was eventually granted.

The fire was finally knocked down with the help of Marine Company 6 and Purple K from Engine 84.

The incident was placed under control by Division 7 at approximately 11:00 p.m.

Two alarm fire in Manhattan Manhattan, NY. At a little before 11 a.m. on August 1, 2014, the FDNY was alerted to a fire at 251 E. 35th Street in the Murray Hill section of Manhattan. Crews arrived to find flames and smoke coming from Ginza Sushi with the flames quickly spreading to a bodega on the corner. A collapse zone has been set up because of the danger of a wall collapse from the restaurant.

Rope rescue training for the NYC Stage Hands Local 1, with All Hands Fire guest instructor Robert Morris Sr.

New York city stage workers receive rope rescue training The stage hand workers from Local 1 received a rope rescue training class at the Lyric Theater on 43rd Street in Manhattan. The two day class was held on July 17 and 18 at the same theater where the broadway show "The Amazing Spider-Man" ran.

Students attended a classroom session, which covered various OSHA regulations, as well as equipment familiarization, use and a discussion of specific equipment applications.

Following the classroom session, students participated in skill stations, which included use of spe-

cific devices, rigging, ascending, descending,and more. Then students were presented with scenarios that the Local 1 workers can (and do) encounter, including pickoff's from conscious and unconscious workers suspended in their class-3 harnesses, as well as rescues from compromised suspended catwalks and truss walks.

The students in attendance were from various theaters, including the Foxwood Theater, Madison

Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, the Beacon, Saint James and more. And the students were already very proficient, enthusiastic and overall very good at what they do.

The training was provided by All Hands Fire Equipment & Training, who featured instructor Robert Morris, Sr as the lead instructor for this project. All Hands Fire offers a variety of training programs across the nation. For additional information, please contact Training@AllHandsFire.com.

Looking for a quickie ‘AB’ routine you can do everyday? Of course you are!

Crunches still work great, yet busting that same old routine from time to time is always a good idea.

Grab a beach ball, a playground ball or a Swiss ball and give this a try. For those of you Pilates enthusiasts, these movements may be familiar.

They target the abdominal muscles. They’re simple, quick and different. Go for it!

Reverse Crunch – Lie on your back, knees bent feet flat and shoulder width apart. Hold the ball in both hands - arms fully extended upward at chest level.

Head is flat on floor. Keeping the lower back in contact with the floor flex at the hips and draw knees toward your mid section.

Stop when hip flexion reaches 90 degrees, pause two seconds then return to starting position. Shoulders remain fixed and ball is still throughout entire movement.

Complete 10-15 reps.

Pullover – This movement is the opposite of the reverse crunch.

Lower back again is in contact with the floor. The knees are bent and held at 90 degrees of flexion with feet raised off the floor. The ball is held overhead (at floor level) in both hands with arms extended. The hips remain fixed and still and the feet remain off the floor. Raise the ball off the floor until it is extended directly over the chest. Pause for two seconds then return to starting position.

Complete 10-15 reps.

Combo – Now put both movements together. Begin with feet flat on the floor, knees bent. Ball is held overhead (floor level). The head and lower back remain in contact with the floor. Raise the ball to chest level as you simultaneously draw the knees toward mid section (90 degrees of hip flexion).

Pause two seconds then return the arms/ball and the feet to the original starting position. Complete 10-15 reps Full crunch – Add a head/shoulder lift to the combo.

Everything comes up together (the arms/ball, the head/shoulders and the hips/feet. Pause at the top for two seconds then return to the starting position. Complete 10-15 reps.

Ball transfer – To further challenge yourself try this. Begin as you do in the full crunch (ball overhead at floor level, knees bent feet flat. Lift head/shoulders, arms/ball, feet/hips) and pause at the top.

During the pause place the ball between the legs (just below the knees) squeeze it tight to keep it there as you return to the starting position (the ball is now between the knees/legs and the hands are empty – but the movement remains the same). Now repeat the movement. When you get to the pause at the top reach and retrieve the ball and return to start with the ball back in your hands. This is one rep.

Continue your set, each time alternating placing the ball between the knees on one lift and then retrieving it on the next. Complete 8- 10 reps. (Remember, - one rep is really like two - count one each time you retrieve the ball with your hands.)

Remember to receive clearance from your physician before beginning any exercise program. Not all movements are suitable for all individuals.

50 Engine and 30 Truck FDNY HOUSES FDNY HOUSES by Larry Woodcock

When one thinks of Harlem, New York, many images come to mind. 125th Street is the main thoroughfare with its crowds of people and stores that line both sides.

The Apollo Theater is the renowned venue that has played host to some of this century’s most famous entertainers. When I think of Harlem, I think of the zoo, and none other than the zoo.

Not the Bronx Zoo, but the Harlem Zoo. What zoo is in Harlem? It has been around for over one hundred years through thick and thin, 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year. Never a day off. No animals reside in this zoo, well not the ones we would associate with the Discovery Channel or children’s toys.

59-Engine and 30-Truck at 111 West 133rd Street just off the corner of Lenox Avenue is really Harlem’s one and only zoo. Residing at this location since November of 1962, this glazed brick firehouse is the only one of its kind in the city and adds to the unusual when it comes to this

A Photographic Journey through The Firehouses of the City of New York Fire Department Photography by Larry Woodcock Written and Edited by Paul Hashagen Available from: M.T. Publishing Company, Inc. 1-888-263-4702 www.mtpublishing.com Price: $42.50 This is a hard cover coffeetable book measuring 9 inches by 12 inches and has 192 pages.

The photographer is the son of a retired New Jersey firefighter and was an EMT in a large city for 10 years. Presently he works in the private sector, but since a child has had an interest in the New York City Fire Department.

His journey to expand on his interest which resulted in the desire to photograph every firehouse can be found on Page 23.

The writer is retired from the

area.

The tradition and reputation that this firehouse holds is well documented among former and current firefighters. In a neighborhood that was once considered to be the beginnings of our country, this area was a farming village, a battlefield during the Revolutionary War, an industrial suburb, a stronghold for the Italian mafia, an American ghetto with its tumultuous and dangerous streets of the 70’s and 80’s, and a renowned center of African-American culture.

Today, it is comprised of a mix of ethnic groups and million dollar brownstones along tree lined streets. Simply put, Harlem is summed up as quintessential New York City.

Historic, legendary, and ever changing; no one including myself would ever think that Harlem would morph into what it is today.

And with the present day Columbia University expanding almost yearly, who knows what Harlem will look like in the next 50 years.

The history of 30 Truck started out as a single company on February 1, 1907 on 135 Street and Lenox Avenue. Fourteen firemen and one assistant foreman were on the entire roster.

In the late 1950’s, plans to build a new school next door to the firehouse prompted city planners to build a new firehouse that incorporated 30-Truck and 59-Engine, who at the time were sharing their firehouse along with Squad

LARRY WOODCOCK

Company-1 on 137th Street.

And in 1962, the two moved into their new quarters along with Squad Company-1 on 133rd Street. Squad Company 1 was relocated to the firehouse of Ladder58 in November of 1972, leaving 30 and 59 the lone occupants since.

Several theories surround the company’s slogan “The Harlem Zoo�. One is that back in the 60’s members had nicknames like bull and snake and tiger. And they decided to call it the zoo. After al, the animals were all represented.

But the most plausible and most widely accepted reason is that in the early 1970’s a softball

league was started by a few remembers of the house and as the games got more and more competitive other companies in Harlem joined the league and also come up with slogans and designs for company patches.

Hence, the zoo was born and so were intense rivalries and bonding among neighboring companies. Another Harlem institution is Firefight3er Keith Nicoliello of 30 Truck, who I have known for many years and has spent 31 years in this firehouse and counting.

I am starting to believe that he was cracking the whip when they still had horses, and he has no intention of leaving. His dedication

and love of this job is second to none. And he embodies the pride and loyalty to one of the city’s premier truck companies.

30 Truck was established in February of 1907 and 59-Engine in April of 1894. Keith has told me before that they, like many companies across the city, are not going to work like they used to. Times have changed as well as technology and fire prevention. But, when the time comes, they will be ready and I have the utmost confidence that they will.

Photographic Journey Through the Firehouses of the Fire Department of the City of New York New York Fire Department after serving 25 years most of which were with Rescue 1.

He specializes in the FD’s history and his book, A Distant Fire was reviewed in this column back in 1996.

Together the two men have produced great book that no buff or firefighter or anyone for that matter with an interest in this fire department should be without.

Each boro is covered in alphabetical order and each page is loaded with one and sometimes two photos of a firehouse with information as to the company number (s), location, when it was organized, when the station was built, the neighborhood, the nickname (if any) and a list of line of duty deaths.

Stations of companies that have been closed or disbanded are not in this book. In the back of the book is an index of the line of duty deaths and what page they can be found on as well as a page listing for each fire company. But I should back up a little bit. The beginning of the book has a history about the Firemen’s Memorial with pictures followed by chapters with a dedication, a brief History

of the New York City Fire Department done by Paul Hashagen (which is 12 pages) and side stories about three memorable men, Chief Edward Croker, “Smoky Joe� Joseph B. Martin and Doctor Harry Archer which are all enjoyable.

The next section is called “FDNY Basics� in which the

makeup of the stations, assignments and working fires is explained.

After the reader gets through the various texts, he or she can relax and enjoy each page of the fire stations with added treats of apparatus from various vintages, company patches, station interiors, fireboats and in some cases two

stations from different years that a company used.

As I said earlier I believe this book is a must for anyone who has an interest in the New York Fire Department or for that matter anyone who has an interest in architecture!

Personal Safety Is Your Responsibility Who is responsible for the safety of firefighters at the scene of a fire or other emergency? Is it the incident commander, the company officer, the safety officer, the individual firefighter?

The fact is they all share a responsibility for overall safety. Often times, with all the activity, adrenaline rush, and excitement at the scene of an emergency we focus on accomplishing the task assigned as expeditiously as possible and somehow we begin to disregard our personal safety, focusing in on our objective while losing sight of the big picture.

That is when there will be a fellow firefighter, company officer, safety officer, or incident commander covering your back, bringing you back to reality, and insuring your safety.

With today’s reduced staffing levels, on occasion you may find yourself operating alone, and it need not be in an IDLH atmosphere, but performing an exterior type operation or task.

Then, you may be the only one looking out for your immediate personal safety!

How responsible and dependable are you when operating on your own? Are you concerned about your personal safety on a regular basis? Do you run when you can walk? Do you have all your gear on and use it properly? Do you view the big picture?

Do you think about what you are preparing to do before doing it and ask yourself is the task at hand really required? Do you review the worst possible scenarios in your mind and what the outcome might be if you do not succeed or if something goes wrong?

Will you be following your departments SOG’s and training procedures and not be taking a shortcut? Can the task wait until additional assistance is available?

Being responsible for you own personal safety requires you to do all the aforementioned as a minimum.

Responsibility as defined in the dictionary “the quality or state of being responsible: as moral, legal, or mental accountability”; and Responsible is defined as “1 a : liable to be called on to answer b (1) : liable to be called to account as the primary cause, motive, or agent (2) : being the cause or explanation for the accident c : liable to legal review or in case of fault to penalties 2 a : able to answer for one's conduct and obligations”.

A responsible firefighter is one who is able to act, at times, without guidance or supervision, because he or she is accountable and answer-

STAYING SAFE Chief Henry Campbell

able for his or her behavior.

It requires one to accept responsibility for their actions and for the result of their actions.

It is important that we have safety officers, company officers, and fellow firefighters looking after us, keeping us out of harm’s way, a shared responsibility.

We must also be looking out for ourselves and accepting that as a major responsibility we owe our family and department.

When one fails to act with individual responsibility relative to their personal safety some form of reprimand should be dispensed.

Reprimanding individual firefighters for their unsafe actions or inactions delivers two messages; the first is to the individual who failed to comply with department safety policy, and the second message is delivered to all members of the department.

The second message indicates that the department takes safety seriously and will reprimand those members who fail to comply with established training and safety regulations.

Most times a formal reprimand is not necessary, just a brief “word to the wise” usually results in compliance.

If this fails, the department should not fear disciplining and reprimanding individuals who fail to comply with department safety policy.

These individuals are exhibiting poor habits and initiative relative to their own personal safety while setting poor examples for others and disregard for department policy.

Strict discipline must be enforced relative to firefighter safety issues as we strive to reduce the annual death and injury rates.

As difficult as it may be to swallow, human error is the root cause for most of our accidental injuries and deaths, and in order to correct the problem we must first own up to that fact.

Individual firefighter responsibility begins when you leave home and family for the fire station or the emergency scene, and it doesn’t end until you have once again safely returned to home and family.

They always expect you back, don’t let them down!

Till next time, Stay Safe and God Bless!
