This is a very sad rundown, knowing that two young children were killed - this is a parent's worst nightmare - having to bury a child - in this case two - it is without doubt the most difficult thing you ever to have to face in your life - unfortunately I know first hand as I lost a young infant to illness almost 30 years ago.

This fire points out several things - that bad things happen very quickly where fire and smoke are involved. E311 and TL158 were there less than 3 minutes after being called. The fire was essentially over in 9 minutes. Let's hope this tragedy makes the City of New York rethink the proposed firehouse closings they are contemplating. I will now get off my soap box.
