Investigation Summary
Sometime after 7:00 p.m. on January 3, 2008, Employee #1 fought a two-alarm fire at the Ebbets Field Houses in Crown Heights, an occupied multiple dwelling unit in Brooklyn, NY, when he became separated from his unit; the smoke and heat were so bad that fellow firefighters could not access Employee #1. Firefighters working on a different floor heard desperate maydays coming from Employee #1, who was losing oxygen. By the time he was found, he had run out of air and was already in cardiac arrest. Employee #1 was killed and four other firefighters and four residents of the building were injured in the fire. It took over one-hundred firefighters to contain the fire.
