In an effort to turn a very sad tragic situation into something positive, Fairview Firefighters in cooperation with other agencies are conducting a door to door visitation to homes in neighborhoods near the location of this fire. Their message is to promote fire safety and give smoke detectors to homes that are in need of them. It is unbelievable that in this day of smart phones, etc. that some residents are still lacking such basic life saving devices as a properly located, functioning smoke detector and or CO detector. Kudos to them!
From Fairview's IAFF FB page:

People died, young kid/adults died. To sit here and have a discussion about, ventilation and whether or not what those good samaritans was right/wrong, good or bad goes beyond words. Those people did what ANY of us in emergency services would do, HELP. Isn't that why we are all in this anyway ? To help people ? You can't fault someone for just trying to help to lives. To even attempt to go into a burning building with out any gear takes more balls than I could ever have, and those people should be given a pat on the back just for trying to get in there to save those people. This discussion makes me sick and im just as guilty to engage in this, nonsense. RIP to the young lives that were lost in this tragic incident.

Are the facts know on if braking down the door had anything to do with the loss of life or are we just making a 1000 replys posts on the subject.
Did the house have working smoke detectors? Was it up to standards? A few years ago my son and his room mates were looking for off campus housing at Marist. I took one look at the structure and found it a death trap in waiting. Needless to say they did not move in. Get the facts let's not Monday morning quarterback. A sad day for Marist and the brothers at FFD.

Over the radio just now someone goes "Thank you, what's the score?" Someone replied "Giants win" and first person replied "Yea Buddy!"

What a game!!! Looks like I'm not making it to see 30 years old with the way these games go! GO BIG BLUE!!

The Giants are going to the super bowl. Rematch of super bowl 42.

And as such, you are hear-by precluded from any more anti-Giants comments. Matter of fact, after yesterday (aside from the Giants eliminating the defending Super Bowl Champions) all those affiliated with pro football in the state of Texas; your golfing season officially began statewide yesterday thanks to Baltimore taking out the Texas Houstons...err Houstas Teaxans...ah it don't matter. They're gone too.

02:04 - 2302 reports working fire in basement, should hold with on scene resources. 60 Control dispatching remaining companies (E25, E23, L13) to inside smoke condition on 5th Avenue.

While During This Incident Also Other Calls Within The City Of New Rochelle District.
E-23, 25, and L-13 responded to 570 Fifth Avenue for an Inside Smoke Condition on the #4th Floor and turned out to be a pot on stove.
E-24 was able to free up from fire scene to respond with 30Alpha2 to Willow Drive for an MVA with injuries/possible car fire and it turned out to be negative car fire and negative injuries.
0239 Hrs All NRFD Rigs 10-8 In Service.
0240 Hrs NRFD E-21, 24, TL-11, L-12, C-2302, and 30Alpha1 Dispatched to 77 Pelham Road (which is approximately 3 blocks from where the fire was) for an CO Alarm with possible symptoms.

People are injured/killed intervening in law enforcement incidents all the time. However, and these are just a couple of examples, good samaritans saved countless lives when they retook control of Flight 93 on 9/11 and train riders subdued Colin Ferguson during his shooting rampage on the LIRR so there are examples.
These humans were trying to save other humans trapped in a burning building. They were not professionals nor were they probably aware of the hazards associated with their actions but they did try to do something when others routinely stand idly by. I won't be so quick to condemn them.

That certainly may be the case. But I personally won't vilify these bystanders for doing what they thought was right. They followed their instincts and a certain degree of human nature and attempted to help those in need, when no others could. I'm willing to bet that good Samaritans, over time, have done far, far more good than harm.
