On June 10, a 2nd alarm fire broke out at Grand Central Terminal in NYC, disrupting Long Island Rail Road service and injuring three firefighters and one civilian. The FDNY responded swiftly, deploying over 100 firefighters in challenging conditions of heavy smoke and limited visibility to extinguish an electrical fire behind a roll-down gate. The cause was determined to be an electrical panel, leading to suspended service until the situation was resolved. Train service was later confirmed to resume in the evening.
Over 100 firefighters, under the command of Deputy Assistant Chief Dave Simms, operated in extremely hazardous conditions with heavy smoke and zero visibility to locate and extinguish an electrical fire behind a roll-down gate.
Hours after it started, it was revealed that the fire was ignited by an electrical panel, so service had to be suspended to let firefighters in to access the panel.
