The headline in the New York Post reads “Brooklyn Blaze Miracle”. Eight firefighters were injured in Bensonhurst during the three-alarm fire yesterday. Ladder 148′s Andrew Shierer became caught in a porch collapse in the three-story building and received serious, but non-life threatening injuries. Here is how the Post describes it:

A plucky Brooklyn firefighter miraculously escaped death yesterday, plunging 30 feet after a porch collapsed as he battled a blaze at a three-story building, authorities said.

Andrew Shierer, of Ladder 148, injured his shoulder in the frightening fall, cheating death by staying on top of the pile of rubble as it fell two stories.

“He rode the third floor down to the first floor,” a paramedic said of Shierer, whose father was emergency management chief under Rudy Giuliani.

Another firefighter said, “He didn’t get hurt because he slid down the pile of rubble and rolled almost into the basement.
