Two window washers in New York City were pulled to safety 78 floors up after their scaffolding broke, sending them on a wild ride that blew them around, smashing into the building.

Two New York City window washers are safe after their scaffold outside a Midtown skyscraper started swinging uncontrollably, FDNY says.

Two window washers were rescued Friday morning after their scaffolding was left swinging wildly outside a high-rise near Columbus Circle, forcing FDNY crews into a high-risk operation to pull them to safety.

It’s the first time a section of the city’s fire code has been used to fine a driver of a car blocking a fire hydrant.

A driver was fined $4,000 for parking in front of a fire hydrant and blocking firefighters during a fatal fire in the Bronx, FDNY says.

A Bronx driver is facing a $4,000 fine after parking in front of a fire hydrant during a deadly fire, delaying firefighters’ response. The FDNY is cracking down on this dangerous violation after two fatal fires earlier this month—one in the Bronx and another in Brooklyn—where blocked hydrants slowed emergency crews from battling the flames.
