Officials thanked and praised quick-acting EMTs and first responders who raced to the scene of the Chelsea bombing.
They commended FDNY Station 7 for their swift and thorough response to Saturday night's explosion on West 23rd Street.
All 29 people injured were treated and released from the hospital.
"They worked in perfect concert with NYPD and the other first responders, and their presence is a constant reassurance," said state Senator Brad Hoylman of Manhattan. "The fact that 23rd Street is back to business and New Yorkers are going on about their day is a testament to the expertise of these firefighters."
"The general energy of these patients, because of the large response, they saw all the resources coming in, everybody was really calm and it went very smoothly despite the tragic event," said Lieutenant Bruce Hydock of FDNY EMS Station 7.
Officials say the accused bomber, Ahmad Khan Rahami, carried a journal that detailed the bombs and motivation to commit violence in the name of the Islamic State militant group.
Investigators say the 28-year-old Rahami also planted the explosive earlier that day near the starting line of a race in Seaside Park, New Jersey. No one was hurt.
Rahami remains in a New Jersey hospital after getting into a shootout with police Monday morning in the city of Linden, New Jersey.
Investigators say they have not been able to question him because he's too severely injured.
Meanwhile, a federal judge is denying a public defender's request that Rahami be appointed a lawyer.
That's because prosecutors say he has not yet been officially arrested because he's incapacitated.
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch says Rahami will be moved to New York soon to face federal charges.
