2020 Class D Unit Citation - E35 & FB3

On May 23, 2020, the crews of FB3 and E35 responded to a four alarm fire at 220 Jefferson Street, Pier 45. They were ordered to the south side of Pier 45 where the historic Liberty Ship, the S.S. Jeremiah O’Brien was moored. FB3 maneuvered through challenging tides, thick black smoke and intense heat caused by the fire and wind. With their advanced knowledge of the waters and fire behavior, and a planned and coordinated attack, the crews of FB3 and E35 prevented the massive fire at Per 45 from inflicting any serious damage to the historic Liberty Ship and prevented the fire from extending to other structures. The combined efforts of FB3 and E35 made a major contribution toward finally extinguishing the fire.
