"They were dead before the Fire Department even knew," Caufield said yesterday of Bashir Jackson, 17 months, and his brother A captain at the High Street Firehouse had said Monday that the electrically operated doors were broken for the past month and a manual pulley jammed while three frantic firefighters tried to lift it.

Caufield conceded the garage door jammed, but said the deaths would have occurred even if it were functioning. He also conceded that garage doors, which open thousands of times each year, could be a problem at other fire stations. When first contacted Monday afternoon, Caufield had said he personally inspected the door a week before and found the door was functioning. He said it was not uncommon for the city's fire stations to use the backup manual system. Firefighters who were at the scene said the blaze was doused by bringing hoses through a side door of the station.

They said the delay could have been a factor leading to the Jackson brothers' deaths. Caufield called the remarks "outrageous." Firefighters rushed out the side door without protective masks and found the children dead, he said. "They were on the floor within a minute of notification," Caufield said.
