Firefighter survives 40-foot fall down shaft while battling 5-alarm blaze in Harlem
Fuel. Grind. Lead.
🚨 A heroic firefighter narrowly escaped death after falling 40 feet down a shaft while battling a five-alarm blaze in Harlem. The fire, which broke out on the second floor of a six-story apartment building in Hamilton Heights, quickly escalated due to strong winds, reaching the sixth floor and displacing over 40 residents. The firefighter, who was backing out a hose line, accidentally tumbled out of a fifth-floor window and down a shaft at the back of the building. He received immediate medical attention from FDNY physicians and trauma paramedics on the scene and was transported to Harlem Hospital, where he is listed in serious but stable condition.
In addition to the seriously injured firefighter, five civilians and three other firefighters sustained minor injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation, with residents suspecting a lithium battery as the source.

Embracing Discomfort: Goggins talks about the necessity of stepping outside your comfort zone to achieve greatness. He believes that true growth happens when we face discomfort and challenge ourselves, advocating for the mindset of "getting comfortable being uncomfortable."
Discipline and Accountability: The video underscores the importance of personal accountability and discipline. Goggins encourages individuals to take responsibility for their lives, set high standards, and work tirelessly to achieve their goals.
The "Can't Hurt Me" Mentality: Central to Goggins’ philosophy is the idea of developing an unbreakable mindset. He suggests that by embracing hardship and learning to thrive in challenging situations, we can build a resilience that enables us to tackle any obstacle.
