96 with foam ?

  Maybe NOT. Water from the foam doesn't mix very well with electricity from the transformer fire. (Hows that for knowing my stuff ???). Good point though "FDNYBuff97".

Same site as the 1989 explosion I believe.

I think that's the fire that made "Its at least a 10-75" a famous line.

  Yes, I can still hear the loud sound of the pressurized gas that day, the scariest NYC fire I've ever been to.

I do have some slides (somewhere) of foam being used at a transformer fire back in the early 80's
