BROOKLYN TENTH ALARM BOX 36
THE OLD GREENPOINT TERMINAL MARKET
MAY 2nd 2006
 |
This photo was taken from the Greenpoint Ave. bridge while I was responding to the fire.
 |
My first photo, taken from exposure number 4. The wind was pushing the fire towards exposure number 2.
 |
One of the most spectacular fire conditions that I have ever seen on the exposure 2 side of the fire buildings.
 |
Numerous tower ladders are set up.
 |
The Chiefs consult with each other and order apparatus away from the collapse zones.
 |
The incredible radiant heat and high wind conditions hampered firefighters.
 |
The building on the right was the next to go!
 |
The Maxi-water unit in operation
 |
Looking towards the rear of the fire buildings on the waterfront.
 |
The building on West Street starts to go. Light to heavy smoke conditions and then?
 |
Fully involved!
 |
Heavy fire vents out on the left side of the photo!
 |
As the interior starts to collapse, Heavy fire vents through the roof!
 |
Part of the building collapses onto West Street!
 |
Numerous Tower Ladders are in operation!
 |
Fireboats operated in the rear of the fire building.
 |
Firefighters operate handlines from the top floor of the exposure 4 building.
 |
The Ruins!.

Firefighter watches over the ruins!
