Some Real Emergency Response In Los Angeles
And here, to balance out the MTA is run by a bunch of retarded chimps story from earlier, is a story about heroic and efficient LA first responders. From the always interesting LAFD blog:
Firefighters responding to a reported fire in a high rise medical office building were met curbside by Security Officers who confirmed alarm and fire sprinkler activation on the twelfth floor of the seventeen story structure.LAFD personnel took prompt control of the building by securing the lobby, stairwells, fire control room and key building systems as pursuant of protocol, Fire Department helicopters were being staffed remotely as 'Airborne Engine Companies'.
Firefighters carrying as much as 100 pounds of equipment each climbed 24 flights of stairs to access a fire held in check by a single fire sprinkler in a twelfth floor medical office... The fire was declared extinguished in just seventeen minutes.
