Nice photos raybrag

Thanx, but not mine . . . from SI Live.

 

[memory master]

Just a few blocks behind the quarters of E168 off Rossville Ave. A previous multi-alarm fire struck these townhouses years ago which resulted in a fatality. E164 had a long run to get in first due in this area. Public outcry resulted in the formation of E168 in June of 2005.

Mayday transmitted 1805 hrs

 

[memory master]

Staten Island radio reception is poor. All I heard was a garbled "structural collapse." Please, someone let us know what is happening if you can.

 

[raybrag]

Agree with MM about quality of SI radio . . . it's awful.  FC stated there was a partial collapse (did'nt catch which bldg), a roll call had been conducted and all members were accounted for . . . all members removed from bldg.  Apparently Mayday was a false alarm.

 

[68jk09]

A LOCALIZED ROOF COLLAPSE INTO THE TOP FLOOR ......ALL MEMBERS ACCT FOR.

 

[memory master]

Thank you Ray and Chief Jack  and most of all, Thank GOD!

 

[manhattan]

Ah, the glories of lightweight wood truss construction...and the extra profit that it provides!!!

 

[FDNYSTATENISLAND]

Perfect example of why newer lightweight construction is such a problem, creates insane exposure problems. The houses go up incredibly fast.

Pics are from SILIVE:

Around 1700ish they called 2,2&2 for watch line

@19:26 B1 heading to the 4th Alarm

 

[NYBravest82]

Was there for it, and the collapse...shots will be up soon, but yeah, the radio was awful today.

Ah, the glories of lightweight wood truss construction...and the extra profit that it provides!!!

There are a ton of these SI townhouses built in the 70s and 80s.  Thrown up rapidly.  Limited hydrants.  Building alterations over the years. 

 

[FDNYSTATENISLAND]

Alarms escalated quickly

those burned up front pieces don't look like S.I. helmets
