A rescue is a rare occurrence. How uncommon, then, is it to rescue three victims, especially while operating in dire conditions? Indeed, FDNY members were confronted with 17 critically and seriously injured victims at Queens Box 22-7889 and FF Victor J. Rosa had a direct hand in rescuing three of them.
