Sure does. Being local we got to watch all the events as they unfolded, and I am close enough that I can listen on the fire band.

[size=18]Last plea: Save the new guy [/size]

The rescuers breached the wall of the cellar behind the burning building, and a firefighter was tunneling into the debris when he felt a tug on his pant leg.
By several accounts, the firefighter had worked his way into a small void and had been trying to wiggle past a huge storage cabinet. He eased around and saw that the tug had come from one of his trapped comrades. "I'm here," the trapped firefighter mumbled.

The firefighter asked his trapped comrade's name and company. The trapped man was clearly in great physical distress, but he managed to say he was Lt. Howard Carpluk and he was working that day with Engine 75.

Then, his words labored, his life being squeezed out of him, Carpluk spoke not of himself but of the young comrade who was foremost in his mind.

"My nozzle man's under me."

He was telling his rescuers to save his probie, probationary Firefighter Michael Reilly, who had entered FDNY Academy only four months ago. Carpluk was the consummate fire officer, and he had been right beside Reilly as they advanced on the fire in the 99-cent store on Walton Ave., the new man on the nozzle, the officer guiding and watching over him.

What terribly sad thing. Prayers for the fallen and their families and thanx to those dedicated to looking out for and helping me and mine.
