The Fire Department of New York said that this kind of rope rescue was considered to be a "last resort." At a news conference, Darren Harsch, one of the four firefighters involved in the risky endeavor, said: "This is an extremely rare type of rescue. We don’t do this often." Commissioner Laura Kavanagh said at a press conference on Saturday that the blaze was caused by a lithium-ion battery connected to a micromobility device, which includes both scooters and e-bikes. It remains to be seen how many residents were impacted by the fire. FDNY further stated that the Aviation Unit checked to make sure no one was trapped on the roof of the 37-story building and the stairwells. 63-year-old Igor Mihailevschi, a resident of the building, told The Post: "I ran down all 26 flights of stairs. Everybody was screaming and there was smoke everywhere and I looked out the window and saw someone waving at me to get out." Other residents recounted horrific stories of escaping the building to media outlets. A number of residents were transported to local hospitals.
