Pull or Pull it comes from days before radios were in use (now everyone has a radio) - if conditions got too bad
and chief wanted crew out would have men jerk or pull on the hose lines into the building to signal them to get
out
Just had to be "pulled" two nights ago when 3 story house went up - Incident commanders ordered everyone
away from building to "surround and drown"

Yes, but why would Silverstein have the power to pull the fire fighters? Shouldn't that order come from someone else, namely someone in the fire department or at least the state official, maybe even Giuliani, but Silverstein?

I remember getting a call from the, er, fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, "We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it." And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse.

Any fire officer that sees a major danger has the power to pull crews from the danger.
