Thank you Joe I’m a retired member fro E-16 that story needs to be told .your interview was 23 minutes 18 seconds god bless you and may we never forget
Heart wrenching story , I have seen that picture of those firefighters being brought out when I was a kid and it never left me .I don't know why I never heed the call to join because being a firefighter is the only job I ever wanted to do and still would . god bless you guys you are the best. I did volunteer down at the WTC for 4 days on site. Nothing would of kept me out to try and help FDNY.
I've only just stumbled upon this tragedy. It really should have a bigger profile. Its also a facinating window into the culture of the GOOD people of New York. Good outcomes are built on the ashes of the brave.
I thought I knew about all the large FDNY Firefighter LODD's. I did not know about this one. Thanks for posting.
I was an Auxiliary Fire Captain when that fire broke out. I responded with an Engine Company from Brooklyn New York City.
Thanks for letting me know. They were lucky to have you with them
Three of the guys who broke me in at Ladder 3 survived that fire. (L-3 lost 13 members on 9/11) I still have my copy of the fire/ coroner report from that fire. Most do not realize how we saw the firefight in front of us, and it was so different for those companies a few yards away. After I retired in 2004 I ran into a young lad named Gilvary. His father was a proby in L-7 and the officer kept him outside because he knew this one was bad. That act kept him alive, and his son was born a year later.
By leaving a comment on the 23rd street fire you left a bit of history Rich.. Thank you.
As a fellow FDNY member, what a fascinating detailed story. God Bless All.

Hi!!!!!!
Do you know Vincent Dunn? He was there too. He just posted his recollections on RUclips also.
Yes I know Vincent Dunn through Don Van Holt of nyfd.com. He did a great job in posting his recollections in this video.
Note: Joe Corso is my pen name which appeared unintentionally in this reply.
He's an awesome author on building design construction for fire service
I do. He posts a lot on Don Van Holts site at www.nyfd.com
I know Vincent Dun. In his excellent 23rd Street fire You Tube video he spells out why the floor didn't just collapse but instead just fell in chunks. I always wondered why that happened. I thought my guardian angel was looking out for me, but his video explained that idea away.
R.I.P. Thank you for such a fascinating piece of history. I have been by the site of Wonder Drug, and to the best of my knowledge, there is unfortunately no plaque or reminder of the sacrifice and dedication that happened at that scene.
There is. I believe it is on 23 st. But there is one there somewhere.
I was told there is a plaque somewhere. If you happen to locate it, drop me a line,
@@joecorso6072 There was one put up after I posted the comment. It is on the 23rd St. side of the building. untappedcities.com/2016/10/20/nyc-throw-back-thursday-1966-the-23rd-street-fire/
There is a plaque at the site on 23 street there’s also plaques in the quarters of E 16 and Ladder 7 on 29 street I was a member and I made the wooden Plaques
