11/9/25 Brooklyn 3rd Alarm Box 0043

Once again, I know that time can be short when people are trapped or fire is rapidly spreading but it is UNSAFE Not to have all Tower Ladder tormentors fully extended and locked in place. Tower Ladders have turned over or fell over due to not taking the time to fully extend all the Tormentor and Jacks. The chasse of the tower ladder is designed to have the tormentors and jacks fully down and locked and the body of the rig and tire slightly off the ground. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired.
 
Although it would not have been assigned on this box, I remember the Fireboat at the foot of Noble St. Another loss for Greenpoint.
