Fireman Seufert Survives Under Debris in Roosevelt Street Fire
In New York a warehouse fire on Roosevelt Street left two firefighters dead. Fireman John J. C. Seufert, presumed dead, was found alive after about twenty four hours trapped beneath a mountain of bricks and paper. Crews worked through the night and into the next day, using a tube to communicate, while Deputy Chief Binns coordinated careful removal to avoid further collapse. Seufert’s rescue followed a cautious, grueling effort as volunteers and professionals dug through the debris and confirmed his status with a careful exchange of calls.
