I saw this fire outside my school on the top floor. It was getting put in and out... by the strong rain and winds... or the firemen? Pretty strange sight since the school was about 6 miles away.
The news said it was a welder that started the fire and that it had started in the upper walls. Firefighters had to search 60 condos before fighting the fire with 3 firetrucks. Rescue before firefighting Hmmmmm No immediate water Hmmmmm
Risking a firefighters life for an evacuated building Hmmmm I think not.
They did a great job saving the rest of the condos. Those Galveston firemen were amazing to watch. I can't believe nodody died.
@dawneallison sorry for your loss

fire fighting procedure is primary search, rescue of victims, fire suppression, secondary search, mop up and restore equipment to service.
