News 12 clip states 400 Firefighters responded. I would think that's a misquote, wouldn't you?

That definitely sounds like a misquote, it may be that many if you count the members on all of the units that were relocated during the incident but I highly tell they were that many on scene.  On August looked back at the time of the incident and because the operations continued over a shift change that would significantly contribute to the number of members that were on scene at one time or another.

Found this video by LOUDLABS NEWS NYC on YouTube so added it here for historical purposes. Quite a cockloft fire. Can't say enough about those members working inside on the top floor with all those flames above them.

That was a good job. Lots of fire in the cockloft and a lot of pulling by the members on the top floor they had double ceilings.  The owner altered the ceiling in the top floor on the B wing has Sheetrock ceiling and then a small void then there was the original ceiling with lathe and plaster.  Then which finally have access to the buildings cockloft.  Where is was ripping.  The Bros Did an awesome job
