When I was a Firefighter, I was Filling in as a Chief Aide for FDNY's Battalion 4. We went to a Serious High-Rise Fire in the Financial District/Wall St. area of Lower Manhattan. Broken glass from the upper stories of the fire building pierced the Steel Roof of the Field Communications Unit, parked near the fire building and went right through the interior ceiling of the Field Com, Unit, Thank God no ONE was hit, it indeed could have been lethal. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired
