Brothers and sisters always remember just because you outside the fire building/area a collapse or other failure can still happen. A few years ago, another Chicago Firefighter was killed when a building collapsed hit a tree and the tree fell on the firefighter killing him. Last year in Greenwood Lake New York a tree in a burned-out area fell killing a NY State Wilderness firefighter, and another tree, in a burn out area fell and just missed damaging a Chester N.Y. Engine Company with two members inside. "Beware of Collapse Zones and SECONDARY COLLAPSE ZONES."
