Interesting read, and interesting the way they present the report. Much different then what's done here. Very detailed as well.

"We have an opportunity here to drill down further into this incident and look at our organization — our culture, our safety practices, our communications, our command and control, all of those factors," Fire Chief Kerri Donis said.
