Chicago firefighters battled a routine blaze in a vacant 1 story commercial, getting a knockdown within several minutes. Within seconds, the routine nature of the incident deteriorated into chaos as a rear wall collapsed on multiple firefighters who were within the structure looking for possible victims. At this time, two firefighters are confirmed dead and 14 others injured.

  • @biggbanner1 go read the NIOSH report on this fire then come and comment.

  • @jhenn5510 I wasn't there, true, but I am a fire fighter. I know things that most people don't. If you aren't a FF, don't criticize.

  • if you weren't there, don't criticize .. you have no idea what happened there

  • Why would they not sound the roof and make sure that no collapse was immanent? I blame that on leadership. You have to size up the scene and weigh the options. Firefighting 101. My heart goes out to the families.
