Mini Backdraft

During the Mini War-Years it was important for the new probie to catch a “Good Job”. (Intense Fire) A “Mini Backdraft” is when a new Firefighter is pumped after his first “Job” and does not experience a “Backdraft”

He was so excited after his first job that he told the Senior Man “It was like a Mini Backdraft!”

Mini War-Years

In New York City, the summer of 2005 went down as one of the hottest on record causing the beginning of an era. Fires started breaking out all over Canarsie Brooklyn, Engine Co. 257 and Ladder Co. 170 went to as many fires if not more than they did in the 1980’s and 90’s combined.

I got on this job (FDNY) during the Mini War-Years.
