Nice Job pushing it out. Has FIU declared a Point of Origin yet? I know it looks obvious,but You learn to let 'em call it as the process unfolds.

Always nice when You've got Live Folks to take care of. They're devastated,but Alive........How's Your Crew's Condition? Every Striker's OK? :flex:

All firefighters did well no one hurt or injured the cause was a stupid overloaded powerstrip not a bad knockdown for a day time first crew in 2 men until Many of us left work and mutual aid also a second alarm was struck

As a crisis response Chaplin with the Red Cross, I love to hear reports where the initial reports of entrapment were wrong and all were extracted safely, including the family pets. :D :)

Glad to hear everyone is safe. You are so right, the homes and the contents can be repaired and replaced.
