in picture # 2, the roof looks like there is some damage... was a vent hole cut there ? was this a burn through point ? it appears the structure burned through and started causing a collapse. What were the structural members ? Great stop !!

Does anyone have the break down of when the inital call went in, when the first piece of fire equipment (fire engine) responded, and when the first unit was on scene. As well as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd dispatches?

Stirring the pot?

Not stirring the pot. Just asking for info.

Stirring the pot?

I think asking for dispatch times and a play by play is more than appropriate. We are accountable to both ourselves and the public. How does multiple dispatches to get the appropriate equipment/staffing responding to alarms reflect on the fire service?
