I think the initial use of drones would be better to evaluate whether or not it was safe enough to put even one member on those floors to evaluate the situation. Worst case scenario - I'd rather chance losing two or three $50,000 drones than ONE member if even a partial collapse would occur.
Buckled columns with 10 stories above, and sagging floors from 22-26. I would hope those SOC brothers were quickly removed in favor of surviellance by drones instead. They moved staging back an additional block for safety, but had three companies with no actual engineering expertise inspecting...
LOL I bought my high school graduation suit in Robert Hall. And used to (literally) live in Lafayette Electronics just west of the armory.

Been there a few times. Narrow, dead end street opposite a park with a pond. Fire bldg. was at the opposite end. Trying to remember if there was another hydrant on the block at all. The only one may have been at the corner - long stretch or at least 5 length relay to an engine i/f/o the fire...
Up until about 20 years ago, Battalion and division transmissions did. I guess that stopped when they stopped formal training for chief's aides when battalions used to go to the Rock for training. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to have a copy of the communications manual on the Aide's desk for...
Looks like the premier radio service in NYC is finally going down the crapper like everything else!
DIV8: "we’re gonna go with the 2nd alarm,"
What ever happened to "By orders of DC_________ Div. 8, transmit a second alarm,"
