7/7/26 Manhattan Collapse Box 790

I am sure that the FDNY had no part in either the Permits for or the inspection of this building. Yes, FDNY looks at buildings under construction but in only involves compliance with existing laws. If any question of construction is disclosed during FDNY inspection, a Battalion Chief is called to the scene, and a Priority A-8 form is sent to the NYC Building Department. I my over 30 years in the FDNY, mostly in Manhattan, I never saw anyone ever take a bribe. I can only state that unlike the Building Department if something goes wrong we the firefighters are the only ones in the building, searching and saving lives, not the building department. We do NOT put our own brothers and sisters and ourselves in danger.
