This is the report of Texas Capt LODD 1/05. It looks like they did alot of right things and still had bad results. There are alot of good SOG's and recommendations in this report. It looks like this was a class act, most all the rules were followed. It just goes to show you need everything going in your favor and doing things right to come out of this game ok. In an earlier post I mentioned about the training with the exposure we are getting now with ie this site etc., that we didn't years ago.

We didn't do half what they do today. obviously the stats prove this out. ie. the TIC on every incident makes so much scents. I think this is a must read for both the proby and the senior man.

do it right the first time you might be have a second time.

Have a good day

Larry, thanks for posting it.

It is sad to lose a brother like that. It is important to keep in mind the statements in recommendation #1. We have lost many firefighters operating at scenes of vacant buildings.
