For one thing some people who have gone to the press aren't really welcomed. If you were a reporter would you run his story Jimmy? There's a video of one Eyewitness who said he heard explosions in the basement of building 2 (?) Then he heard plans hit above. That's in the raw footage but what aired on TV was cut, and his story was "corrected" to go along with the official story. I doubt there's some mass cover-up it was probably just lazy reporting, easy reporting, --lets not make waves, --He must be mistaken the experts say reporting. It's just easier to go along with Guys like you that are so upset at the notion of anything but the story of steel buildings falling from 2 fires.
but to your question specifically, the firemen weren't with him only "mr Hess" was.
But do you see what your doing with your questions. You are dismissing his testimony not based on what he's said but based on lack of corroborating testimony. Which is a legitimate to ask for of course but it doesn't negate the truth of his testimony at all. Well below is Mr. Hess's interview on 9-11 and then a later interview. He expanded and changed his story a bit later. but the day of he simply gave a less detailed but nearly exact copy of what Mr. Jennings said. that there was an explosion near the 8th floor stairwell.

Jimmy here's my problem,
it's hard to get get any of the story strait, I've found lying and misquotes and changed stories and speculation on all sides.
My own council says that 7 stinks.
I've yet to here a definitive answer on why the Jennings and Hess in 7 before the collapse heard explosions felt the building shake etc.. It sounds like you have speculated debris to your satisfaction. I'm still not sure.
