Firefighter Injured on Way to Fire is Getting Better

The firefighter injured Friday night when he fell off a fire truck is now responsive but still cannot speak. Joseph Moore fell off the rig when the company was responding to a fire at Bagel Bob's on York and 8rth Street - when the truck went onto Lexington, the door opened and Moore fell, cracking his skull. The firefighters' union is blaming the accident on the FDNY's reliance on old equipment; in fact, the Seagrave truck Moore fell from was only in service because the regular truck was being serviced.

Another company was able to respond to the fire at Bagel Bob's.

  • The truck he fell out of was a Mack, but the problem with Seagrave is that they are slow in delivering new trucks.
