maxwell lazarillo he is from saint augustine florida born in 1987 he's in critical condition and obviously badly burned about alive according to the ems individual that we just heard from and being treated at a hospital here in new york city we had a quick look at the manifesto that is attributed to him by some sources a very rambling conspiracy that involves doomsday and a number of other prominent historical individuals current and passed but no sort of clear line of thinking or specifically what this conspiracy was but everyone in time will get a chance to see what that was all about. he talked about a ponzi scheme and things along those lines but clearly a very sad and it disturbed individual who set himself on fire today in new york and is now being treated for massive burns in critical condition at a new york city hospital we have more information as we receive it.
two minutes is a pretty quick response time to be able to get to a vehicle get a fire getting richer run around and get into the park and start trying to excuse the fire all right? but as far as the fire department resources i will let commissioner cavanaugh talk to you. >> as they mentioned we will obvious he work with nypd to review what happened and if additional resources are in necessary we will place in here but typically for any type of major security event, which this is, we have additional ems resources on scene, fire only sometimes there's usually not a reason for that as you typically would not have an extra public park but we will work with nypd to review that, i would have to rip -- confirm what time they responded but typically in any high security event we have more ems resources on scene because there could be patients for any reason. >> [ inaudible question by the media ]
extinguisher on stand by. nobody knew this guy was going to light himself on fire. two minutes is a pretty quick response time to get to a vehicle, get to a fire extinguisher, run around and start trying to extinguish this fire. as far as fdny commissioner. >> they'll work with nypd to review what happened, and if additional resources are necessary, we'll place them here. typically for any kind of major security event, which this is, we have additional ems resources on scene. fire only sometimes or usually is not a reason for that as you typically would not have next to a public park. we'll work with nypd to review that. >> reporter: what's the response? >> i would have to confirm what time they responded. i'll get back to you. we do in high security event have more ems on scene because there could be more. >> reporter: what's happening across the street.
>> not everything that you see right here is part of the plan, there's a large security plan and trust me when we had our meeting before this took place we met with fdny, ems, court partners, secret service, i am not quite sure what else you are looking for ems and fdny are in the area during the trial as well they are aware of what is going on and our response time today was pretty quick. >> did the man say anything before or during the incident? >> as of right now what we're showing as he walked directly into the park and began to throw the pamphlet in the air and then
park. they make efforts to put him out. they use their coats, they use fire extinguishers, eventually fdny responds. we're able to extinguish the fire and from that point, we removed him to cornell burn unit. right now he's there in critical condition. at this moment, i'll let commissioner talk about the condition of the male and the condition of people who helped and who were witnesses there. >> thank you. as the chief mentioned, the victim is in critical condition and is alive and intubated at cornell burn center. there were four nypd officers and one court officers, so four officers who had minor injuries for their exposure to the fire. they are green tags, which are minor. we were on scene as the chief mentioned. ems did treat and transport the patient, and we have fire

out to the fire commissioner, but obviously, we're working in partnership with courts fdny all the city agencies sees that that need to be ova are here. but you've got to also remember the park's open to the public. so there was no reason for anybody who already have a fires thing or so on standby, nobody knew that this guy was about the light himself on fire. so two minutes is a pretty quick response time to be able to get to a vehicle, get a fryers, things sure. run around, get into the parking, start trying to extinguish this phi. all right. but as specifies at the wind resource, i let me see kevin, i just stole my wishy washy may want yeah. >> as they mentioned, you know, obviously we'll work with nypd to review what happened and if an additional resources are necessary, we'll replace them here. but typically for any kind of major 16 dirty event, which this is, we have additional ems resources on scene fire only sometimes they're usually is not a reason for that as you typically would not have next to a public park, but we will work within my pdf i would have to confirm what time they responded. we'll get back to you, but we do typically in any kind of high security event,
