So, how do you know what time the conversation with Silverstein took place?

Well we do know it was AFTER the firemen were evacuated from the building according to Chief Nigro.

So, he was clearing a collapse zone surrounding the building?
Thanks for clarifying, and confirming

Correct he meant clearing the men BEFORE talking to the owner.
So he could not have meant the men when he stated PULL IT since they were already out of the building BEFOE the call was made.
1. Chief Nigro who evacuated the firemen before talking to the owner then became the fire comander and called the owner to tell hiim they could not safe his building.
2. Chief hayden was still getting his men out of the safety zone area and trying to keep water going to the engines when the call was made, so he probably did not know what the fire commander decided to do.

1. Yes, Chief Nigro evacuated the firemen form the BUILDING.
2. Yes, Chief Hayden was getting his men out of the SAFET ZONE.
Can you tell the difference between BUILDING and SAFETY ZONE?

Actually it does, it states that he cleared a collape zone and stopped all activity BEFORE talking to the owner Silverstein.

Please reread Chief Nigro's statement, it clearly shows he evacuated the firemen BEFORE the call to the owner Silverstein.

Only after the buidling was evacuated and Chief Nigro became the fire commander did he then talk to Silverstein on the phone about not being able to save the building. But again that was after the firemen were evacuated from the building.

....according to whom? Looks like they were still evacuating the area when the call was made....your words, Roger:
Originally posted by REMISNE
Chief Nigro. Its very easy to see, it clearly states in his statement.
Originally posted by gavron
You might want to re-read his statement, Roger. I think you're reading into it what you want, but the actual statement is clear as a bell.
Originally posted by REMISNE
Yes it i s clear as a bell that he evacuated the firemen before talking to Silverstein.
