Four Alarm - Manpower 15:54

Added in Edit: Four alarms Manpower means more hands are needed but there is plenty of apparatus at the fire. Initial size up called for "One story commercial, heavy smoke from the roof near front". No word on origin but it sounds like maybe in the pro shop area. Storm water is involved now which means a BUNCH of water is flowing and running off.

Darn, had plans to go there on Monday with the wife.

The fire broke out after a man fired off tracer rounds inside the building, which is illegal, said Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans.

Really, I didn't know they were illegal.

Jason's a nice enough guy and a good fireman but he is mistaken, against rules, not illegal.

I posted a question on the blog. I can't tell for sure if Jason said this or it was "added" by the author.

Defensive now. Note the ladder pipes in the above post. Means she folded up where the fire is and it's a cool down operation now.

Just did a records check back through January 2010 and got no hits on it.
