I watched this operation of and on all afternoon and I have to give props to all crews involved for thoroughly professional and dedicated efforts to control this disastrous fire and to control the collapse of the structure to keep the public from being endangered.
Now might be a good time for all you church sextons, custodians and caretakers to take a harder look at the electrical wiring in your buildings.
How many engine, quints, bronoch, and rescue trucks where on the scene? Is there list companys on scene?
I will have to try and get that information. Everywhere I looked I saw a different apparatus. If I can obtain that info, I will forward it on to Dave.
I have a list. Let me make sure it's right and that I have all of them. I'll try to get it added tomorrow.
