and for the record, NFPA did testing on the scenerio and found that when they replicated the same materials, with the same sizes that 2 sprinkler heads over the stage would have saved everyones life, and caused only minor smoke damage. Viva code enforcement.

Daniel, go back to the blog on the station nightclub. On that I have a link for the video. Ensure your sound it on. When the fire starts, a timer appears, and you will get a true timeline of the ferocity of the fire. The West Warwick FD is less than 2 minutes away and is fully staffed by paid firefighters. (its about 1/8th a mile) If you need any further information, contact me, I have done some intense studies on the fire through my fire marshal class in Rhode Island post station fire.

This is a virtual bar. This is will be a place where we can stop and say howdy and have a few drinks and visit with each other. This is a carry over form the off duty forum

After 15 years in the service, there is one thing I know will NEVER change. That is "CHANGE". It happens. We get new equipment, new duties, new skills, etc.... Some of it good, some of it bad. But if we had not tried new things throughout the hist...
