They were forced to climb numerous floors (the fire started on 22) wearing full gear & carrying equipment. One positive result of this fire was changes in building codes to help prevent the loss of electrical feeders in the event of a similar fire. Although the building was equipped with an emergency generator to supply power to fire pumps & elevators, it was rendered useless when the feeder wires were destroyed by the fire. If you walk by the Residences at the Ritz, please take note of the commemorative plaque dedicated to the Fire Fighters.Markvatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16087605418162122001noreply@blogger.com
