In Episode 383 of Mic’d In New Haven — Volume 77 of The Best of The Bravest: Interviews with The FDNY’s Elite, Captain Steve Elliott looks back on some of the most powerful and haunting moments of his firefighting career.
He recalls a devastating arson that followed a multiple homicide, fires marked by explosions and chaos, and a legendary eighth-alarm blaze on 116th Street and Broadway — where Firefighter Matt Barnes climbed the aerial and rescued two twin babies through heavy fire conditions.
It was the kind of job that defined a generation of firefighters: unrelenting, dangerous, and unforgettable.
Outro Song: Tool – Stinkfist (1996)
