We will never forget! Today is the birthday of FDNY Lt. Charles Chuck Margiotta of Battalion 22. He was born on January 15, 1957, and would have been 65 years old today. We will never forget the ultimate sacrifice that he made on September 11, 2001. There's a story so old it must be true about the time some wannabe hardcase was trying to pick a fight at Demyan's Hofbrau in Stapleton, another piece of Staten Island that isn't here anymore....Continue reading

NEVER FORGOTTEN: September 1, 2005 FDNY, Staten Island, NY IAFF Local 94 Firefighter Michael Sofia Engine 165 FF Sofia died from 9-11 related cancer

This Date 2007. The Deutsche Bank Fire. Dry Standpipes and Trapped. No Workers Died. All for A Stupid Bank. Heroes because We always Deem Every Building as Occupied. Rest In Peace Brothers.

"When we pulled up on scene, we saw heavy smoke coming out of the rear of the building. We made our way up to the 8th floor through the thick black smoke. We we...re able to figure out what apartment it was and we immediately started to force the door. When we got the door to the apartment open, we were met with a wall of black smoke that came out into the hallway. When I began my search, there was zero visibility. About 10 feet in, I found an individual. I called it over the radio and Firefighter Khalid Lewis and I began to remove the person from the apartment. At the same time Firefighter Khalid Lee found another individual during his search. He brought the individual out where Firefighter Lewis was able to assist with the removal. During this time, I continued my search. I went back into the apartment and found a third person. At the same time, Firefighter Lewis continued his search and found the fourth person. There was a total of four people rescued from this fire. Everyone did a great job forcing the door, making searches, and putting the fire out," says FDNY Lieutenant George Mueller, Ladder 107, who responded to an all-hands fire in Brooklyn earlier this afternoon. Firefighter Khalid Lewis says, "I was assigned the irons position. We worked as a team to find the fire and individuals. It was a very high heat situation and we relied on our training in order to remove everyone from the fire. It was a collective effort." Firefighter Khalid Lee says, "I was assigned the can position. This was a coordinated effort. We split up during the search and we were able to find the individuals in the apartment with zero visibility. We train for this and with hard work and great leadership, we were ready for this and we were able to succeed." The patients were transported to local hospitals with serious injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation. See more
