This in itself is a Major Operation. 37 patients on Ventilators and needing immediate care. I assume everybody is okay thanks to the FDNY and FDNY/EMS.

  This is why I'm such a big fan of the FDNY. Things like this just don't happen in most places, and if it did it would be headlines.

  Yet, I'm sure for the members that responnded, its just a part of their workday.
