The father of three says it's just "a day in the life of New York City fireman."

Three firefighters are credited with saving the life of a drowning pregnant woman in New York Harbor. People on land summoned Lt.

Finer saw the woman's arm in his spotlight beam. Lambert pulled their boat alongside her, and Moynihan went in. By that time, says Moynihan, "She was under water. I got her by the hair. ...

Before Big Fire, A City Warning

Over Contractor

Before the fire, Galt workers removed a section of a standpipe that had supplied the water needed to fight a fire on the upper floors of the building, where the firefighters, Joseph Graffagnino and Robert Beddia, died. That action is now a central part of a criminal inquiry by the Manhattan district attorney into the deaths and other issues, including the awarding of contracts on the project.
