消防员成功抢救了一座历史悠久的纽约市教堂,该教堂因在电影《教父》中出镜而知名。当时,一场四级火灾正肆虐附近的一座空置仓库。
Firefighters saved a historic New York City church, notable for its appearance in "The Godfather," as a four-alarm fire tore through a nearby vacant warehouse.
纽约市消防局(FDNY)运营长凯文·伍兹(Kevin Woods)当晚在记者会上表示,周六下午5点45分左右,大火开始在空置仓库内蔓延,随后200多名消防员和紧急医疗服务人员紧急赶往位于史泰登岛的洛雷托山(Mount Loretto)。
More than 200 firefighters and EMS personnel rushed to Mount Loretto in Staten Island after the blaze began to spread inside an empty warehouse at around 5:45 p.m. on Saturday, FDNY chief of operations Kevin Woods said at a press conference that evening.
“这座建筑损毁非常严重,屋顶已经坍塌,目前我们正在该建筑周围维持一个坍塌警戒区,”伍兹说。
"There is heavy, heavy damage to this structure, the roof did collapse, and right now we’re maintaining a collapse zone around that structure," Woods said.
“消防人员抵达时,发现整栋建筑大火肆虐,随即转入防御性作战,”伍兹说。“我们设置了多个大口径水枪云梯和手持水枪。”
"Upon arrival, units encountered heavy fire throughout the building and immediately went into a defensive operation," Woods said. "We set up multiple large-caliber stream tower ladders and handlines."
位于海兰大道6581号(6581 Hylan Boulevard)的这座仓库已经空置了五年,但它位于洛雷托山园区内其他几座建筑附近,其中包括两所学校以及历史悠久的圣约阿希姆和圣安妮旧教堂(Old Church of St. Joachim and St. Anne)。该教堂因在1972年电影《教父》洗礼场景的外景中出镜而闻名。纽约市上演《摩门经》的历史悠久百老汇剧院爆发火灾 这座装饰华丽的天主教教堂在1973年的一场大火中大部分被毁,不过其立面得以幸存,并在三年后重建。
The warehouse at 6581 Hylan Boulevard has been vacant for five years, but it is located near several other structures on the Mount Loretto grounds, including two schools and the historic Old Church of St. Joachim and St. Anne, which was famously featured in exterior shots of the baptism scene of the 1972 film "The Godfather." The ornate Catholic church was largely destroyed by a fire in 1973, though its façade survived, and it was rebuilt three years later. Firefighters managed to control the blaze on Saturday and stop it from spreading to the other buildings.

消防员设法在周六控制住了这场大火,并阻止其蔓延至其他建筑。大火在晚上8点30分左右受到控制。
The fire was under control at around 8:30 p.m. "It’s very windy out here tonight.
“今晚外面风很大。我们的队员出色地应对了许多飞溅的火星,防止其他建筑起火,”伍兹说。伍兹表示,有一名消防员的腿部受轻度烧伤。起火原因仍在火灾调查员办公室的调查之中。
Our units did a great job with many of the flying embers, preventing additional structures from going on fire," Woods said. Woods said one firefighter suffered a minor burn injury to his leg. The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Fire Marshal’s office.
