Fighting a Fire in the Sky with FDNY Battalion Chiefs Anthony Pascocello and Mark Rosenbaum

FDNY Pro

Manhattan FDNY companies were dispatched to a high-rise building under construction with reports of a crane on fire. The construction crane was positioned about five stories above the 45-story building when the engine caught fire. Upon arrival, the crane’s boom, which had 16 tons of concrete attached fell, striking another high-rise building before crashing to the street below. Host Battalion Chief Brian Mulry talks through this challenging operation with two of the initial chiefs on scene, Battalion Chief Anthony Pascocello, Battalion 9, and Battalion Chief Mark Rosenbaum, Battalion 8.
