Trivia
The scene in which John Travolta talks to Joaquin Phoenix while drinking liquor was improvised by Travolta. The scene originally had Mike Kennedy talking straight to Jack Morrison, but Travolta thought it would be funny to start drinking right in the middle of it.
Joaquin Phoenix was nearly seriously burned in the scene where the factory floor collapses. If you slow down the DVD as he is sliding down the floor you will see a ball of fire caught between the floor and his chest. Luckily the crew awaited him with a fire extinguisher as he fell to pads below.
At the beginning of the film, the Third Alarm assignment to the large warehouse fire was given the location of Newgate and Newkirk Streets, which is the exact location of that very building that was burning.
In the warehouse with the second victim, Jack gives him his mask to breathe through. When you pull off your mask, you should push the blue button. If you don't, the tube the air goes trough doesn't lock and all of your air goes away. When you put the mask on, and start to breathe, the tube unlocks itself, so Jack should have locked it again when he took the mask back.
Throughout the movie, Captain Kennedy is running the rescue operation of Morrison. That task would have been left up to a Operation Section R.I.C. Division Leader, Command would have only been given updates through the Operation Section Chief.
