REPORT OF SERVICES AT FIRE
Chief of Battalion 1 September 21, 2001
Box No. 8087 Date Received September 11, 2001
Time Received:^!? P*^ On Duty at Fire 14 Hours 30 Min.
Time Returned to Qtrs. 23:00 At work at Fire 12 Hours 30 Min.
Date Returned to Qtrs 9/11/01 Out of Qtrs 15 Hours 30 Min.
Ordered to Quarters by Deputy Chief Robert Mosier Division 8
Received signal relocate to Bn 32 by radio while on the air. Arrived in 15 minutes
then ordered lo transport the 32 Battalion to WTC.
WORK PERFORMED
Battalion 21 was originally assigned to relocate to the 32 Battalion. Upon arrival at
the 32 Battalion unit was instructed by the Brooklyn Dispatcher to bring the Chief
and Aide of the 32 Battalion to the WTC.
Upon arrival at the WTC went to command post that was being set up at the corner
of West and Liberty to inquire if the services of the 21 Battalion were required.
After determining that service were required returned to Battalion Car when the
South Tower Collapsed.
After proceeding South on West St. to avoid collapse Chief Vallebuona and FF
Zasa assisted civilians in area to points of refuge.
When dust cloud cleared to where it was possible to return to car both members
returned. At that time we tried to organize an operation by determining our
resources and options. Shortly thereafter the second collapse occurred. Again we
proceeded south on West and again assisted civilians and members in the street
where we could.
After conditions again stabilized returned to West and Liberty to try and setup
some sort of operation at that location.
Informed Chief Blaiche that we would try to organize units to control fires in street
and at 90 West St.
There were several members available at that time at West and Liberty probably
not more than 10. 90 West Street had several floors involved in fire along with a
cellar fire and the roof was also starting to burn. 90 West St. also had been
completely covered in scaffolding that had been damaged and whose stability was
in doubt. There were several cars and apparatus starting to burn in the street. There
was also debris and human remains along with several large sections of buildings
strewed along the street.
Instructed some members to do a surface search of the area to determine if there
were any victims that we could assist with negative results. At same time had some
members start to operate handlines on fires in street and to attempt an interior
operation at 90 West St. The lines we operated had been previously stretched
before the collapses. Due to poor water pressure probably caused by burst mains
along with inadequate equipment and manpower decided to order members out of
90 West St. to setup for exterior operations.
Members at this time were arriving for the recall, instructed some members go to
River to see if they could find a FireBoat. Members with the assistance of New
Jersey Firefighters found Marine 1 and stretched lines to West St. Instructed
members to bring multiversal to roof of Mariot Hotel across the street from 90
West and to operate hand lines from rooms in Hotel across street into 90 West. A
tower Ladder was also placed into operation. Several lines were stretched from
Marine 1 and an adequate water supply was established to contain fire at 90 West.
Around that time Chief Robert Mosier Division 8 came upon the scene and took
Command.
Kindly note that I have tried to recall the ID of firefighters and units that I worked
with that day and the only unit that I can recall is Ladder 108 the events of that day
were extremely stressful and have interfered with my ability to recall all that
occurred.
Injuries:
Chief Vallebuona went to the first aid station in the evening to have eyes cleaned
out due to partial loss of vision. Removed to Beekman Hospital eye ward for eye
irrigation and returned to scene. Also torn muscle to right leg and sprain to right
shoulder, which was not treated.
FF Zasa removed by EMS to Beth Israel for loss of vision, exhaustion and back
injury.
Damage and loss of property:
Battalion 21 car was damaged and left at scene. All department equipment and
personal gear in car was lost. Car was later returned to Battalion and some gear has
been returned.
