I was listening to the audio, when I heard "2 firefighters down....not good" that struck a big emotional cord with me, and I was done listening. The radio traffic was worse that what I had imagined.
If I was that dispatcher, or EMS on scene, my career would be done. I'd be happy stocking the shelves at the Quicky Mart after something like this. I wouldn't want to see what else the world holds for emergency responders. Any innocent person who gets shot and killed is tragic, but when firefighters get gunned down like this, for emergency responders, I feel, it's worse. This is NOT an acceptable way for a firefighter to die! Nothing really is, but this is really hard to accept .
I mean, you go to help someone, and they shoot you? Or they specifically design something to entrap you, for no explicable reason? I mean, this has happened to PD and EMS for a number of years, but now firefighters have to be worried about this to? I guess the newest firefighting class needs to be "Tactical Streetsmarts" like is tought in EMS, and the hottest new gear will be a bulletproof vest that fits in your turnout. Sad.
As M'Ave so very well said....
Thoughts and prayers. This has got to stop. These are turning from isolated incidents into an epedemic. The best way to honor those who died is to do the right thing, whatever that may be.

Two things about the audio;
First and foremost - excellent, PROFESSIONAL job by Dispatcher and Fireman 312...KUDOS.
Second, and one of the downfalls fo the information ages - is the fact that we are able to listen to this mere hours after the incident occurred. We get the names, pictures, and audio too fast....I hate to think over times, how many relatives learn of the death of a loved one via the internet.

I call the added description a "size-up." There should be a size up for any fire...even the 2.5 story wood frame ones.
