  What a fine production! I'm proud to say that I got to spend my whole career at Menlo Park Fire - and that I get to see some of the people who were just coming on board as I was wrapping up that career. Way to go in taking care of this fire and in producing this exemplary After-Action-Report!

  Well done and thanks for putting the debrief on video. Kind of had a couple of flashbacks watching to be honest.

  This needs to be used on a National stage as a training tool for all metropolitan departments.  Just the coordination from outside agencies and the assignments to different chiefs is beyond magnificent.  To limit the fire to structure B only is fantastic.   It appears as none of these chiefs were familiar with structure fires as large as this but there combine experience and years of service and knowledge is what saved this from being even worse then it could have been.  The initiatives of these chiefs and captains is beyond extraordinary.

  So if the fire first ignited in the insulation does that indicate an external ignition source? And if so was hot work happening or were they using those industrial construction heaters?

  Why the hell would an architect face the open end of the courtyard facing the rail lines with no vehicular access? That alone should have been a red flag to Code Enforcement.

  Fire chiefs: get your elected officials to pass ordinances against large stick structures. Don’t approve plans with such limited fire access like the RR tracks on 2 sides. IFC code is your friend.<br>👍🏻🚒

  You would need to either be nuts or very desperate to agree live in a massive modern built building like that. &nbsp;What ever happened to building multi-family mid-rise buildings out of block and concrete and non-combustible materials? &nbsp;It blows my mind that modern fire codes and modern building codes have digressed to a point where this kind of combustible construction is allowed for mid-rise residential buildings over 2 -3 stories.
