From what they showed in the video (which I can't find), the 3 fire fighters' body language didn't indicate an emergency. They were walking calmly from house to house. When they got to the one in question, 2 stood calmly on the patio while the 3rd kicked the door and stuck his head inside.

I'm sure we all send our deepest regrets to those who lost lives and property in N. Texas in the past few days. However, in watching KHOU TV in Houston this morning I saw a video clip that really concerned me. It showed three young Gainsville Fire and Rescue personnel going door-to-door, I assume checking on folks in one of the previously flooded neighborhoods. None of the homes "looked" damaged, with clean yards and such, and flood waters receded very quickly after the rain stopped. At one home, they peered in through the window, then kicked in the front door!
Scenario: you're taking a nap in the back bedroom and are awakened by the sound of your front door being kicked in. You grab your sidearm and flashlight, and just as you round the corner you see two or three large males entering your dark living room, silouhetted against the light coming in the window (note:NO fireman helmets visible). What happens next?
Watching the video instantly brought back images of police and National Guardsmen in New Orleans!
