I shot a photo of a firefighter's helmet in Worcester in the early '90s. The number piece had been hand-painted. On it, along its border, were the companies the firefighter had worked in. I've always wondered if this helmet belonged to the officer who was one of the six.

Sounds like they didn’t do pre fire planning on this building

Sad fire. Did these guys have pass alarms?

From reading 3000 Degrees, they did, but due to the layout of the storage building they couldn't be heard

Repost the video(s) of hanging the body on Frankie as a "where we were to where we are".
