author and former yoork city firefighter vincent dunn. a lot of folks are going to be watching this. as a firefighter you ve dealt with a lot of blaze, a lot of dangerous situation. talk to us about the firefighters and how they may be responding in a situation like this? we heard jim cavanaugh saying the energy being experted by these is equal to what an individual spends in the course of a day in just 25 minutes frlgt i don. i don t want to be a negative, but this fire is not under control. this fire has spread to the interior of this building. this fire is in the growth stage. it is now growing on the inside of the high rise building. that fire that shows the flame on the exterior, that s out. but now it s spread to the interior.
