They lose people almost every year fighting major fires, most other Fire Departments in the country are paramedics with fire extinguishers.
On 9/11, hundreds died staying in buildings way past the acceptable time limit for that type of structure.
Gravity is the enemy in a structure fire, the rank and file knew it, and so did their command, a lot of whom died with the men they couldn't order to evacuate for obvious reasons.
The communist in chief and his henchmen at DOJ are lawyers with political motives, the opposite end of the humanity spectrum from FF's.
Wow, that's remarkably insensitive and insulting to firefighters nationwide.
My husband’s dept trains it’s officers with and in NYC. They lost people they knew on 9/11, and I agree with much of what you say but hubby does more then use an extinguisher and provide EMS.
