The New York Fire Department said 12 people, including nine civilians and three firefighters, all suffered non-life-threatening injuries after a crane collapsed in New York on Wednesday. According to the FDNY, all the injured were transported to the original hospitals. One of the firefighters suffered pain in the coffin and was taken to an area sanatorium, but not all injuries were life-threatening, said New York City Deputy Fire Commissioner Joseph W. Pfeifer said in a press conference. Pfeifer added that some of the mercenary injuries involved construction workers. The incident happened at a construction site on 10th Avenue and 41st Street, where firefighters responded to a 5-alert fire that broke out before the crane went down, hitting another structure. road, officials of the megacity said. The fire was extinguished recently, according to the teams on site. FDNY officers used a drone late Wednesday morning to get a close look at the crane. Pfeifer said by the time firefighters arrived, debris had already fallen to the ground. More than 200 firefighters and EMS responded to the incident. Officers believe the fire weakened the crane’s wiring “to the point where it gradually lost its strength and that was what led to the collapse,” Pfeifer said. Pfeifer told reporters that the fire broke out when the crane operator lifted about 16 tons of concrete. Pfeifer said the driver noticed a fire in the crane and tried to put it out but was overwhelmed by loved ones, adding that the driver got out of the crane safely. An assessment by the New York City Department of Structures (DOB) following the collapse found that the palace crane was in place and the affected structures were “structurally stable,” the agency wrote on Twitter. “DOB inspectors and masterminds will be on standby to monitor the situation as plans are drawn up to safely deal with the collapsed crane, and work to determine why the accident happened.” This incident happened from the very beginning,” the ministry said.

Richard Paz, an ironworker who was at the site Wednesday morning, told CNN he saw the crane smoking and told others, “That’s not a good sign.” Paz saw the crane operator trying to put out the fire, but when “he couldn’t, he had no choice but to get off the crane, go down.” Authorities will examine each party involved in the crane’s operation as part of the investigation into the collapse, Structural Commissioner James Oddo said at a news conference. The New York Police Department said on Twitter that people should avoid the area between 10th and 11th Avenues from West 41st to West 42nd Streets.
