The Scottish fire and rescue service confirmed that, while standard city-based fire engines were on the scene within minutes of the first 999 call, the nearest available high-reach appliance which adds vital additional capacity to tackle a large blaze came from Coatbridge, an 11-mile (18km), 26-minute drive away in light traffic.
At one point, we were using approximately 15,000 gallons of water a minute on this fire. There is extensive, extensive damage to these buildings, just complete losses. The warehouse at 17 53rd St. was completely destroyed, its roof collapsed, and there was danger that the walls would too.
Commander Helen Flanagan stated that although the two men have been released from police custody, there are strict bail conditions in place while the investigation continues. She reassured the public that they will be closely monitoring these conditions as further inquiries are carried out.
If you are choking and are alone, try to get yourself into a high-traffic area, such as a hallway in a building or outside your house. If you pass out, you're way more likely to be found as opposed to being in a room in a building or your house. Call 911 even though you can't speak. Someone will be sent to your location by dispatch.
