Multiple rescues at lithium-ion battery fire with FDNY Lieutenant Patrick Twomey and Firefighters Robert Rivera and James Soutar

Ladder Company 41 arrived first on-scene to fire and smoke pushing out the windows of a seven-story, fireproof multiple dwelling in the Bronx. Lieutenant Patrick Twomey, Firefighter Rob Rivera and Firefighter James Soutar discuss this challenging operation, which involved scaffolding surrounding the building and an aggressive lithium-ion battery fire blocking the entry to the fire apartment, but resulted in multiple rescues. On Medal Day, the three received individual medals and the entire company received the World Trade Center Memorial medal for their efforts. Battalion Chief Brian Mulry hosts.
