Good work FDNY!

One question, is there any kind of SOP / Guideline for clearing windows? Some places I've heard clear the top half only for venting then the bottom half after search is complete, etc.

Always love Truck placement in the City, and you gotta appreciate a corner building to gain access!

No SOP. We train to clear the whole window and the sash if entering through the window. Some of those windows are not completely taken which I would venture to guess that on the fire floor members were conducting their primary as fast as possible knowing there were confirmed victims.

During a secondary and especially overhaul, the windows should be trimmed completely. That means the sash should be removed and the frame should be split and removed as well to check for extension. I'm not sure what stage they were at when these photos were taken. Maybe L14 knocked a few out quickly to vent, but the more complete overhaul wasn't completed yet. If you look at a photo towards the bottom of 14's bucket you can see that that window appears to be completely removed. Could have been clearing windows at that point....who knows.
