Ok guys here is something from someone who has some experience in Emergency Incident Management.
As Stated Silverstein would not have any authority over any firefighters movement. If the fire chief thought the scene was getting unsafe at building
7 he would PULL the firefighters out and not have to call Silverstien for permission. The only reason the fire chief would want Siverstiens advise is
if the on scene commander thought they should PULL the building.
Also, Maybe someone can explain to us that if thier was so much damage to the side of building 7 how come it came straight down and did not fall to
the side.

Just what I thought, he gives the "pull out the firefighters" response! "It" referred to "the contingent of firefighters"??? Yeah right! If that
was the case, Silverstein would have said "pull them out", not "pull it". No one misspeaks that bad. The word "it" clearly refers to the
building (singular), not a "contingent of firefighters" (plural). How condescending that he would refer to a contingent of firefighters as
"it".
Also, it's already been reported that the FDNY never sent any firefighter "contingency" inside the WTC 7 and this order was made at 11:30 am...
"With the collapse of both towers by 10:30 a.m., larger pieces of the twin towers had smashed parts of 7 World Trade and set whole clusters of floors
ablaze. An hour later, the Fire Department was forced to abandon its last efforts to save the building as it burned like a giant torch.
Falling debris also caused major structural damage to the building, which soon began burning on multiple floors, said Francis X. Gribbon, a spokesman
for the Fire Department. By 11:30 a.m., the fire commander in charge of that area, Assistant Chief Frank Fellini, ordered firefighters away from it
for safety reasons." - New York Times (11/29/01)
and then FEMA reported that the FDNY never even attempted to fight the fires in the 7...
"In addition, the firefighters made the decision fairly early on not to attempt to fight the fires, due in part to the damage to WTC 7 from the
collapsing towers. Hence, the fire progressed throughout the day fairly unimpeded by automatic or manual suppression activities.
It appears that the sprinklers may not have been effective due to the limited water on site and that the development of the fires was not
significantly impeded by the firefighters because manual firefighting efforts were stopped fairly early in the day.
WTC 7 collapsed approximately 7 hours after the collapse of WTC 1. Preliminary indications were that, due to lack of water, no manual firefighting
actions were taken by FDNY." - FEMA (05/02)
So there is a conflict of facts here with the Silverstein spokesperson saying the Fire Commander called in the "afternoon" to say firefighters were
attempting to contain the fires in the building and the news and FEMA reports saying the firefighters never attempted to put of the fires and had
already been called back in the late morning and not "later in the day" as the spokesperson claims.
