Three people rescued in Brooklyn blaze at a home that was ‘full of clutter’: FDNY
Todd Maisel July 22, 2020

Firefighters rescued three people from a apartment filled with heavy clutter.

Three people were rescued from what fire officials say was a ‘heavily cluttered’ Brooklyn apartment this morning, fire officials said.

Fire officials hailed the quick thinking of firefighters from Rescue 2 and Lieutenant Craig Hill, a 20-year veteran of FDNY and his crew from Ladder 123, all of whom contributed to rescuing the two women and one man from the heavily cluttered apartment filled with smoke.

Rescue 2 firefighters smashed a hole into the fire apartment after others trying to force the door open after firefighters discovered that the victims and two electric moped bikes blocking their access. One of the victims was pulled through that hole by Rescue 2 firefighters, officials said.

The fire broke out shortly before 7 a.m. at 1225 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights. Arriving firefighters found heavy fire coming from windows of the four-story dwelling apartment building.

Ladder company 123 led by Lieutenant Hill immediately tried to make entry to the apartment, but found that the door could not be opened because two unconscious people and two electric bikes were blocking the door closed. Rescue 2 firefighters began smashing a wall next to the door from the adjoining apartment in a desperate attempt to save the occupants who only minutes earlier could be heard banging and screaming desperately to escape.

Firefighters dragged one of the victims through the hole while Ladder 123, backed by the hoses of Engine 234 made entry to the apartment where Hill, Firefighters Manuel Zuaznabar and Calvin Turner apparently found the two other victims and pulled them out to EMS.

EMS crews began CPR on the injured residents as firefighters fought back the flames in what fire officials called a “Colliers Mansion” type apartment, filled with boxes and debris.

Two of the victims were rushed to Kings County Hospital in critical condition with smoke inhalation and burns. A third victim was taken to Cornell Burn Unit for burns and smoke inhalation in critical condition.

Fire officials say 60 firefighters and 12 units fought the flames and brought it under control before 8 a.m.

“The firefighters were running with one of the victims down the block,” said Pierre St. Louis of Crown Heights who witnessed the incident. “The person was lifeless. It was like something out of a movie. I know that apartment had a lot of clutter.”

One firefighter suffered minor injuries in the fire, but was not considered serious.

It was unclear at this time what started the fire and fire marshals were investigating.

Captain Vincent Fowler - FDNY 1978-1999

Assignments:

FF - Ladder 123/Engine 234
LT - Ladder 7
CAPT - Division 13

LODD - June 4, 1999

Captain Fowler and a probationary firefighter were searching for victims and fire in the basement of an occupied residential structure. The basement was extremely congested with furniture, newspapers, magazines, and other items. Water had been applied to the fire and it appeared to be under control. The low air alarms on Captain Fowler’s SCBA and the probationary firefighter’s SCBA were sounding. Captain Fowler delayed his own exit from the basement as he called for and accounted for his probationary firefighter and he ran out of air. Captain Fowler and the probationary firefighter buddy breathed until Captain Fowler collapsed. The probationary firefighter dragged Captain Fowler until he was joined by other firefighters. Due to the congested conditions in the basement, it took an extended period of time for Captain Fowler to be removed from the building. Captain Fowler died the next day on June 4, 1999. The cause of death was listed as smoke inhalation with carbon monoxide inhalation.

“My dad, John Toomey, was an FDNY Firefighter at Ladder 123. I was four years old when he died in the line of duty in 1987. My mom used to tell me how much he loved his job and this Department. When I began to realize my interest in medicine, I knew I wanted to be a part of this Department in my own way. I have two daughters, Lorelai and Emilia. Emilia is just a week old, and I hope to instill a work ethic in them the same way my father did to me,” says FDNY Lieutenant Michael Toomey, who was promoted today at the FDNY Officers Promotion Ceremony in Brooklyn.
