After doing almost 30 years in two great shops I'm proud to have been a small part of, I've made an effort never to criticize operations at a job I wasn't at.  You never know what conditions the brothers encountered, nor do we know of any extenuating circumstances that weren't obvious in the rundown.  That being said, this is the new FDNY...and Cap...I feel your pain...lol. Stay safe.

lol....i am just stirring the pot a little....but i've done my time in Manhattan and i know the act very well...the last thing midtown needs is a third alarm assignment all over the streets standing around doing nothing.  Most bosses are a little more jumpy in Midtown
