Engine 22 was working on highway mva on I-90 near the MLK exit. One of our brothers was struck and tragically killed by a vehicle that went around emergency vehicles. Please keep his family in your prayers. Vehicle is a white Chevy Malibu with front end damage. If seen; call 911

“Fingers of smoke.” Understanding fire and smoke behavior tells us that it takes a lot of pressure to force smoke out of small openings. Knowing this tells us that there is likely fire nearby. Finding fire in these voids can often be the key to winning or losing legacy fires.

For years we've been reporting about the increased rate of cancer among firefighters. Now there are new studies that suggest their gear could be adding to the risk, as it potentially contains cancer-causing chemicals. @TomCostelloNBC reports tonight at 6:30 pm ET / 5:30 pm CT.

Try not to get distracted by the visible fire. That’s the “easy” part. Look at what the smoke is telling you: where the fire is going. Notice the fingers of smoke on the bravo side. The real work begins in stopping it from taking the whole cockloft.
