Here is the radio traffic from the orignal call of 5-1-5 happening on the fire..http://www.justin.tv/radioman911/b/359874615
Steve, 5-1-5 is that a Haz Mat District chief? I didnt see his signature on the new signature sheet that just came out.
<sub>WOW Great video--- good coverage--all hands working smooth---well planed attack</sub>
I made a 5 image pano..had to really downsize it but full res it looks pretty cool....
5-1-5 Is the Speical Operations Battalion Chief IIRC.

Nice Shots the Panorama is Great
It looks excellent ... awesome stuff..
This fire was discovered by special ops chief 515..no 911 calls for the original alarm were ever received..strictly a "verbal" from 515. I understand this place was vacant but was of mill construction and had housed a funiture and lamp company in days gone by. An unusual overpass is in place in the front of the building on Ashland ave..that is the highway like structure in many of the photos. Units were positioned on this overpass, although due to collapse potential had to remain clear of the front of the fire building. Master streams were the order of the day. The first batch of images was shot on the Ashland side of the complex and shows rapidly spreading heavy fire on the upper floors. TL5 was in a nice little alcove next to the overpass, and this is where the first collapses occurred...on the south side of the complex. Note the temps were in the single digits and wind chill at or below zero for the duration of the job.
these guys were waiting on the water dept to get this frozen hydrant working for them...
