At about 1:30 p.m. Saturday, the FDNY responded to a report of a fire at 41-40 Denman Street in Queens. Units arrived in about three minutes and found fire on the fourth floor in the seven-story, non-fireproof building. "That fire traveled unimpeded through a void space into the top floor and into the cockloft space," Chief of Fire Operations Kevin Woods said. "Our engine companies moved in with eight handlines—it was a very labor-intensive fire. It was very warm out." There were a total of 13 injuries. The fire went to a fifth alarm, bringing approximately 300 fire and EMS personnel to the scene. The fire was placed under control just after 2 p.m. The cause remains under investigation.

On Thursday, FDNY EMS members responded to a cardiac arrest involving a 15-year-old patient at a school in Queens. Upon arrival, EMTs Alexis Torres and Justin Sarapaivanit, both of Station 45, found school staff performing CPR and utilizing an on-site AED, which had delivered three shocks prior to their arrival. The EMTs immediately assumed patient care, confirmed the patient remained in cardiac arrest, and continued lifesaving resuscitation efforts. Shortly afterward, members of Engine 325 arrived to assist. While preparing the patient for rapid transport, EMTs Torres and Sarapaivanit reassessed the patient and observed signs of Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC), including the return of spontaneous breathing. Rescue Paramedics Kayla Pasquarello and Meagan Valicenti, along with Lieutenant Erin Doyle, stabilized the patient, performed cardiac monitoring, and alerted the hospital about their pending arrival. The FDNY commends the quick actions and seamless teamwork displayed by all of our EMS and Firefighters on scene. Their efforts, combined with the rapid recognition of cardiac arrest and immediate CPR provided by school staff, played a critical role in helping save a young life.

This week, the FDNY held dedication ceremonies for the inaugural World Trade Center Retired Responders Wall—honoring 154 members from all five boroughs who were retired at the time of the September 11th attacks and responded to assist in the rescue and recovery efforts at the World Trade Center site. The wall is located directly across from the World Trade Center Memorial Wall inside FDNY Headquarters. Together, the two memorial walls honor the growing number of FDNY members who have died from illnesses related to their response to the attacks. We will never forget their service and sacrifice at Manhattan Box 5-5-8087 World Trade Center.

It was an honor to join members of the FDNY family at the 87th Annual Fire Bell Club Dinner, a longstanding tradition that celebrates the dedication, sacrifice and service of New York City's Bravest and Best.
