1/23/05: Black Sunday Fires - Six FDNY firefighters are forced to jump 50 feet from the windows of an illegally partitioned Bronx tenement after being trapped by fire and without working hand lines. Two firefighters succumb to their injuries from the fall and the others suffer career-ending injures. Later the same day, a firefighter becomes trapped on a staircase during search operations in the basement of a Brooklyn private dwelling and dies of smoke inhalation and third-degree burns.

This tragic day is remembered as "Black Sunday."
