Saw it too. Awful! What a shame that the footage is accompanied by unsubstantiated accusations. A slow response time, if there was one, is one thing. (And hearsay from a cop isn't evidence.) Accusing the DCFD of not fighting the fire properly is another. Thank God they did focus on evacuation. It was a miracle that everyone got out ok. Standing outside with a video camera doesn't tell you what firefighters did inside to save people, find the fire's location/nature and try to extinguish it.
