i am by no means an expert on the topic but some of those hoses that the ground guys are using look kind of small for the size fire they are fighting. Are they? Or am i just seeing it wrong?
@stabmaster27 everyone had a hose... they ranged from the ladder trucks 2 -1000 gpm nozzles to the 60 gpm booster hose... everyone was working and working hard... yes, the booster was small but the guy on the line was there and trying...
@thgil567 yes there is a bldg code about sprinklers but unfortunatly this bldg was grandfathered in... its just f##### up southern politics of who you are and who you know...if a different person owned the building maybe they would have been forced to put sprinklers in...i dont know though,,, im just an x fireman...
@93CFD Its not just southern states, its many states where older building are not required to have sprinklers. And contrary to belief, sprinklers will not typically totally extinguish a fire, but rather keep it small and managable to the point where occupants can escape safely and the FD can extinguish it with minimal structure damage.SO if this building hadsprinklers,the fire may only have gotten to about 20 % the sizeof this
My name is Ralph from FDNY House 252. I was one of the firefighters in the 911 attacks and this was a e mail that someone that represents your city sent to me. His name was scconservative and has videos of your city there.He has deleted his account but will have a new one soon. Please help me find him
SCCONSERVATIVE Email written to me: The only good thing about 9/11 was the fact that your fag buddies died in those towers screaming like the bitches that they are. Fuck New York, and Fuck YOu
It is my understanding that a preliminary report was issued at the request of the City of Charleston. It was done against NIOSH's wishes because it was incomplete. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I find nothing about the official report on the NIOSH website.
We will miss those brave men who risk their lives every day and every night.

It's sick that they didn't have a sprinkler system in the building.
Isn't there some sort of code for public buildings to install those in SC? (Not bashing SC if they don't have one)

The final NIOSH report has not been issued. The Routley report has, and will tell you everything we all already knew.

The owners of the sofa super store should have installed a sprinkler system, It would have cost a nothing ccompared to
what it cost everyone in the city of Charleston,
