Durham firefighter crane rescue

A crane on top of a Manhattan skyscraper partially collapsed after it broke out in flames this morning.

Oh, thunder dangling on your knee. At 7 25. This morning, we got a report of a fire in the engine compartment of the crane and we're talking about the compartment above the roof line about 45 stories up. As our fire units responded to the scene, we had a collapse. The top part of the crane, the boom and a 16 ton load crashed to the ground. At that point, we had injuries to civilians and firefighters but they were minor. We have four injuries to civilians and to our firefighters. Firefighters were in the surrounding buildings, evacuated the buildings and also stretched hose lines to the top floors. At this moment. From our drone pictures, we're able to see that most of the fire has been extinguished. Crane operator was operating the crane at that point and was lifting 16 tons of concrete and that crane operator saw the fire started and tried to extinguish it. So we give a lot of credit to the crane operator but the fire overwhelmed that operator and had to exit the crane. Why we're so lucky is not only the boom falling into the street but all of that concrete could have struck civilians and this has spread out throughout the area here. So we were, we were extremely, extremely lucky this morning.
