10 firefighters were killed - plus 2 helpers plus 3 nearby civilians 1 lodd was a captain on the dallas fd - no idea what he was doing there - he arrived and offered some advice 5 of the lodd were from the west fd - the rest were from other FDs the blast was only 20 minutes into the call 2 lodd were from abbott fd which is nearby apparently there was a ems class underway nearby - maybe 3 of the lodd came from that ems class some of the FFs actually wanted to withdraw before the explosion - its in the lodd report linked above -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
