In a press release, Commissioner Nigro stated the fire apartment door was left open. Members making an initial push were burned but are ok. In the press release he continued to stress the fact that fire apartment doors need to be closed when evacuating and that it possibly led to the escalation of this fire.

After my parents got married they lived in an apartment on 89 Street and 35 Avenue. Thats where they took me home after I was born. I don't remember much from that first year :):unsure:

I work in a high-rise office building and this is constantly stressed during mandatory fire drills. Would be nice to have some sort of fire drills/training for residential buildings. Even as simple as flyers in the lobby/mailboxes around fire safety.

It sounded like they're getting a handle on it early on, you can see the 2nd Alarm wasn't transmitted until 20 minutes into the job, unfortunately it spread beyond control.
Doesn’t help that it got into the cockloft. In the same statement Nigro said the entire “A” wing cockloft was engulfed. Large building to add on. Little bit of wind we have today also literally adding fuel to the fire. Excellent rundown.
