The FDNY remembers FF John P Devaney, TL-131, who lost his life on February 3rd, 1989. TL-131 responded to a fire at Box 3803, 217 Van Brunt Street in the Red Hook Section of Brooklyn. They were informed by Brooklyn Dispatch of a call reporting people trapped. FF Devaney went into a 3rd floor apartment to search for a mother and her children. He was only in the room a couple of seconds when it flashed over. The intensity of the explosive flash over (2,000 degrees), melted his facemask and incinerated him. The mother and her 2 children were found on the 4th floor. FF Devaney was only 36 years old, a 10 year veteran of the department.

This is extremely hard to believe that a warehouse that burned for days was caused by firemen improperly extinguishing a previous fire. Was the warehouse made of cardboard?

NYC Fire Wire It did, according to this article we shut it down. This warehouse had many city files including files on Charlie Rangel. Something doesnt sit right with this one. The companies left an hour before the 2nd fire, in an hour the fire went from smoldering embers to a fully involved city block long building?

Hank Eisenstein A better question is why a warehouse used to store so much flammable material doesn't have fireproof partition walls and sprinklers.

Juny Torres No fort hamilton does not have a full time or part time fd, all fd calls goto FDNY. Fort hamilton is the smallest army post in the US being it is only used for MEPS and other small scale army and military operations.
