Yes my friends, those were the days. Thanks Jamie for posting that. I kind of remember hearing it on the scanner that night. The fire was on Stone Ave in Brooklyn. Actually I think the factory came in at night and it went to a Fourth Alarm. I believe that 3 frame was a seperate incident.
  Most of those chiefs during the day Never got excited. I remember hearing one chief giving a progress report. His words were; "lets see, we have fire out of about 5, 8,.... I guess maybe Forty Windows". It was like he was counting the change in his pocket.

I have that vid too, it was put out by Advanced I believe, after he bought from Levy. This tape was bought direct from Levy a few years prior to them getting it, notice how no "watermarks" on bottom of the vids.....(Didnt't wanna put up the "Advanced" version, since they still sell it- so I did the ones I got direct from videographer)

Forgot all about that! Great find! You don't happen to know where the NBC production featuring Brian Williams could be located?

The first episode of the Brian Williams show did feature Rescue 4, it used to be available on ebay, I remember that series aired summer of '02. Brian Williams hosted the show from Middletown Twp VFD here in NJ.

I gotta watch it again, not sure which news channel it was but they did a short documentary on R2 which aired during the news time slot in the mid nineties, it also covers the unfortunate loss of Louis Valentino. When I bought it , it was advertised on ebay as a 2hr documentary. It ended up being 20min long and then switched to a couple early 90's fires completely unrelated to the documentary.
