It had previously gone through many changes and the origin al building had burned in the late 1930′s.\nIt had changed hands\, sat v acant and been an off and on hot spot for several years until it was the p rimary club for top notch entertainment and high class amenities.\nOn May 28th\, 1977\, the place was packed with visitors that were expecting a nig ht of glamor and star entertainer John Davidson. It is uncertain exactly how many patrons were in attendance that evening\, but estimations put the number at approximately 3\,000 at the entire facility with 1300 in the Ca baret Room. There were multiple events taking place in multiple rooms whi ch were all filled to or over capacity\, according to reports.\nIn the Cab aret Room alone\, people were squeezed in and sat in aisles and ramps that would be exit pathways. Some of these ramps led to the stage and people were placed there in order to get as many people into the room as possible .\nSmoke was first noticed in the Zebra Room by two waitresses sometime ar ound 2100 hours. They noticed a dense smoke in the room and they notifie d management. The fire department was called within a few minutes and ext inguishers were used on the fire with no effectiveness. Within 10 minutes \, the fire had spread to the Cabaret Room and things would turn tragic ve ry fast.\n\nHere is quote from one of the first arriving firefighters abou t what he saw\, “When I got to the inside doors\, which is about 30 feet inside the building\, I saw these big double doors\, and people were stac ked like cordwood. There were clear up to the top. They just kept diving o ut on each other trying to get out. I looked back over the pile of – it wasn’t dead people\, there were dead and alive in that pile – and I we nt in and I just started to grab them two at a time and pull them off the stack\, and drag them out…” \, Bruce Rath\, a Fort Thomas firefighter. \nThe results of this night were that 165 people lost their lives that nig ht. The reports were not much different from the Cocoanut Grove fire some 30 years prior.\n-Overcrowding of the facility\, namely the Cabaret Room. The room had a listed occupancy load of 615 -756 people. That night\, i t was estimated that nearly 1300 people were in the room\, almost double t he allowed load.\n-For the size of the facility Kentucky law required that there should have been at least 27.5 exits for the occupant load\, there were only 16.5.\n-The wiring was considered inadequate and it was stated t hat it would have never passed inspection by an electrician who inspected the electrical work.\n-There were no fire walls to prohibit the spread of fire from one area to another.\n-No sprinkler system and no audible fire a larm system.\n-The local volunteer fire department acknowledged that there were issues\, but had not ordered any of them to be corrected. (I was un able to find out if the department had fire or building codes ordinances a t the time of the fire.)\n-There were reports of locked doors.\nThese fact ors are all too familiar. We see the same failures in these large loss of life fires in assembly occupancies. We sometimes take our inspections an d prevention activities lightly because it is not “fun” or interesting to some. Remember these fires and the lives that have been lost because of poor prevention measures and a lack of life safety measures in these bu ildings.\nBelow are some links where you can get more information and much of the sources for this post were from the Cincinnati Enquirer.\nUntil ne xt time\, stay safe\, do your inspections with conviction and stay low.\nh ttp://www.nfpa.org/assets/files/pdf/fisouthgate.pdf\n\nhttp://www.youtube. com/watch?v=rsCTBHn2KIc LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Southwest Inn Fire Houston\, TX (2013) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260531T040000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260601T040000Z UID:281463288511 DESCRIPTION:Southwest Inn Fire Houston\, TX (2013)\nThe fire broke out jus t after noon at a restaurant connected to the Southwest Inn along a busy f reeway and quickly spread to the section of the building housing the motel . About 150 firefighters responded and were able to get it under control w ithin about two hours.\n\nThe fire was the deadliest in the 118-year histo ry of the department.\n\nFire officials said they took a high risk in aggr essively fighting the fire because they believed people were inside the mo tel. When a portion of the building collapsed\, the firefighters were trap ped.\n\nhttps://www.cdc.gov/niosh/fire/pdfs/face201316.pdf\n LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:LODD V. Fowler FDNY (1999) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260603T040000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260604T040000Z UID:234024195336 DESCRIPTION:99-22-8943 - Thursday June 3\, 1999\nThe South Ozone Park sect ion of Queens is a quiet tree-lined community with rows of detached wood f rame houses. The resident of 150-28 127 Street had just returned home from picking up his wife from work. Upon entering the house he discovered that his lights were out and he went to investigate.\n\nIn the basement\, the circuit breaker panel had overheated and started a fire in the walls. At 1 855 hours the alarm was transmitted with ladder 173 first due. Captain Vin cent Fowler entered the basement to find the seat of the fire. Followed cl osely by probationary Fire Fighter Paul Torns\, they clambered down a narr ow flight of stairs and encountered Colliers Mansion type conditions.\n\nA few minutes after water started the alarm went off in Paul Torns' mask. U nder optimum conditions he had 6 minutes of air left. Captain Fowler order ed everyone out of the basement. The water was having no effect and the ce iling was beginning to give way. In the confusion Fowler lost track of Tor ns. He called out and started searching for him just as his bottle emptied .\n\nTorns found him and gave Fowler a few shots of air from what remained in his tank. In the blinding smoke and confusion both men were unsure of the way out of the basement. With his last breath\, Fowler yelled a Mayday into his radio and lost consciousness. Torns tried in vain to drag Fowler out of the basement but debris impeded his progress.\n\nHelp quickly arri ved but it still took about 15 minutes to get out of the building. Captain Fowler was not breathing. He was brought to Jamaica Hospital where doctor s had to restart his heart multiple times.\n\nAmongst the family members t hat were keeping a vigil at the hospital was his father\, retired Battalio n Chief Vincent Fowler\, brother Fire Fighters John & Andy Fowler\, his wi fe\, & 3 daughters.\n\nAt 1235 hours of June 4\, Captain Fowler lost his l ast fight. Signal 5-5-5-5 rang out for the 771st time. In keeping with the highest tradition of the Department\, Captain Fowler sacrificed his life for that of his "Proby."\n\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/1999/06/05/nyregion/cap tain-killed-in-blaze-helped-firefighters-cope-with-death.html LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Hotel Fire\, Boston\, MA\nHotel Vendome Fire (1972) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260617T040000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260618T040000Z UID:320076005320 DESCRIPTION:On June 17th\, 1972\, a typical routine day was unfolding for the Jakes in the Boston Fire Department. At 14:35 hours\, Box 1571 was rec eived at Boston Fire Alarm Office. It would be the first of four alarms re quired to extinguish an intense fire at the former Hotel Vendome on Common wealth Avenue at Dartmouth Street\, City of Boston\, Massachusetts. It too k nearly three hours to contain the blaze. The four alarm fire required a compliment of 16 engine companies\, 5 ladder companies\, 2 aerial towers a nd 1 heavy rescue company\, with all companies operating with a full compl ement of personnel staffing.\nFollowing extensive and strenuous suppressio n operations\, the BFD commenced routine overhaul operation. Then\, at 17: 28 hours\, without warning\, all five floors of a 40 by 45 foot section so utheast corner of the building collapsed\, burying a ladder truck and 17 f irefighters beneath a two-story pile of brick\, mortar\, plaster\, wood an d debris.\nMore than any other event in the three hundred year history of the Boston Fire Department\, the Vendome tragedy exemplifies the risk intr insic to the firefighting profession and the accompanying courage required in the performance of duty. Nine firefighters were killed on that day\, e ight more injured\; eight women widowed\, twenty-five children lost their fathers\; a shocked city mourned before the sympathetic eyes of the entire nation.\nThe Hotel Vendome fire and the Nine Line-of-duty deaths\, two Co mpany Officers and seven firefighters

During the 1960s\, the Vendome suffered four small fires. In 1971\, the year of the original building’s centennial\, the Vendome was purchased. The new owne rs opened a restaurant called Cafe Vendome on the first floor\, and began renovating the remaining hotel into condominiums and a shopping mall.\nAlt hough the cause of the original fire was not known\, the subsequent collap se was attributed to the failure of an overloaded seven-inch steel column whose support had been weakened when a new duct had been cut beneath it\, exacerbated by the extra weight of water used to fight the fire on the upp er floors.\nhttp://www.cityofboston.gov/fire/memorial/vendome_fire.asp\n\n LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Father’s Day Fire \, NYC (2001) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260617T040000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260618T040000Z UID:116538118117 DESCRIPTION:June 17\, 2001\nFather’s Day Fire \, NYC\nFor almost 80 yea rs\, the Long Island General Supply store has been a fixture in the Long I sland City section of Queens serving local contractors and residents with all of their hardware needs. Unfortunately\, that included propane tanks a nd other flammable liquids.\nFather's Day\, Sunday\, June 17\, 2001. The r elative calm was broken at 2:19PM with a phone call to the Queens central office reporting a fire at 12-22 Astoria Blvd. Units arrived within 5 minu tes and gave the signal for a working fire. Fire fighters were making good progress but at 2:48PM something went terribly wrong.\nWitnesses on the s cene report hearing a small explosion followed by a huge blast. The shock wave from the blast blew down every fire fighter on the street and knocked down the exposure 1 wall onto the sidewalk\, right on top of fire fighter s venting the building.\nAs members started sifting through the rubble\, t he chief ordered a second alarm followed almost immediately by a fourth al arm when a radio transmission was received from FF Brian Fahey from Rescue 4. He was in the basement under tons of collapsed material.\n"I'm trapped in the basement by the stairs. Come get me." This was a battle cry to eve ryone on the scene. Every capable member frantically began removing debris to try and get to Brian and the others. The chief ordered more help. Nume rous special calls were made.\nThere were 144 pieces of apparatus at the s cene: 46 engines\, 33 ladders\, 16 battalion chiefs\, 2 deputy chiefs\, al l 5 rescues\, 7 squads\, and many more. In fact\, with the exception of th e fire boats\, the JFK hose wagon\, the Decon unit\, and the thawing units \, every type of special unit was at the scene.\nEven with the vast resour ces of the Department\, the task took several hours. The members that were on the sidewalk were quickly recovered. Fire fighters Harry Ford (R4) and John Downing (L163) were removed in traumatic arrest and brought to Elmhu rst Hospital. They were buried too long\, their injuries too severe. Alas\ , there was nothing doctors could do.\nBack at the scene members still wer e trying to get to Brian while others were trying to put out the smoky fir e. The battle went through the afternoon and into the evening. The fire wa s being fueled by some of the flammables in the building. After about 4 ho urs they finally reached the basement\, but again\, it was too late. A gla ssy eyed Mayor Giuliani said\, "I can't think of a more tragic Father's Da y."\nThousands of fire fighters from all over North America showed up at t he funerals while fire marshals scoured the building looking for an explan ation. What exactly exploded? And what was the trigger event?\nIn time the truth came out. Two local kids were in the rear yard of the building when unbeknownst to them they knocked over a can of gasoline. The gasoline ran under the rear door\, into the basement eventually finding the water heat er. When the water heater kicked in\, it ignited the gasoline. As fire fig hters began working in the building the fire caused the explosion of a lar ge propane tank illegally stored in the basement. The resulting blast leve led the building and caused what will be forever known as the worst Father 's Day in FDNY's history.\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/niosh/fire/reports/face200 123.html\n\n LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Super Sofa Fire\, Charleston\, SC (2007) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260618T040000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260619T040000Z UID:280127605052 DESCRIPTION:The fire occurred at the Sofa Super Store\, which was composed of a 42\,000 ft² (3\,902 m²) single-story steel trussed showroom buildi ng with a 17\,000 ft² (1\,579 m²) warehouse building located behind the retail space\,[1] located at 1807 Savannah Highway in the West Ashley area of Charleston. The building had no fire sprinkler system. The fire starte d at approximately 7:00 p.m. in a covered loading dock area built between the showroom and warehouse buildings which was attached to both buildings. [2] At the time\, the business was still open and employees were present. Charleston firefighters arrived on the scene just three minutes after the alarm\, followed soon after by firefighters from the St. Andrews Public Se rvice District.\nThe initial attack focused on extinguishing the fire in t he loading dock area\, with a secondary effort to search for and evacuate civilians\, and to prevent the fire from spreading to the showroom and war ehouse. Crews entering the showroom reportedly initially encountered clear visibility with only very light puffs of smoke visible near the ceiling a t the back of the showroom. Shortly thereafter\, an exterior door was open ed near where the fire was raging. Efforts to close the door failed\, allo wing the fire to enter the showroom. Firefighters were ordered to stretch two hose lines into the showroom to attack the spreading fire\, however th e pre-connected hose line from one of the units was too short\, requiring some firefighters to again exit the building to add additional sections of hose and leaving only one small handline to hold back the growing fire. A t about this time\, fire dispatchers advised the crews on-scene that they had received a 9-1-1 call from an employee who was trapped in the warehous e\, which required some firefighters to direct their attention to the resc ue. The trapped employee was eventually rescued by firefighters who breach ed an exterior wall to reach him.[3]\nDespite efforts to confine and extin guish the fire\, it continued to spread into the structure and ignited fur niture in the showroom\, growing more quickly than the few operating hose lines could control before additional water could be applied to the fire\, however efforts to stretch and begin operating additional hose lines cont inued.[3][4] At 7:41 p.m. the showroom area of the store experienced a fla shover while at least sixteen firefighters were still working inside. The flashover contributed to the rapid deterioration of the structural integri ty of the building\, leading to a near-complete collapse of the roof just minutes later. Many of the firefighters caught in the flashover were unabl e to escape and were trapped under the collapsed roof and shelving weakene d by the fast-spreading fire. Several calls for help were made by trapped firefighters and efforts to rescue them were commenced. These efforts prov ed unsuccessful. By the time the fire was brought under control\, nine Cha rleston firefighters had been killed.\nThe fire started during waning rush hour traffic\, and the Sofa Super Store site was on a major business and commuter artery feeding the suburbs and shopping centers of Charleston. Ca r traffic continued unabated for many critical minutes in the initial stag es of the fire\, driving over water supply lines and contributing to sever e water supply problems\, as the supply lines snaked from hydrants in surr ounding blocks up to a half-mile away from the center of the fire. Eventua lly automobile traffic on Savannah Highway was stopped so that water press ure would be more consistent\, the traffic diversion causing the surroundi ng neighborhoods to fill with stranded commuters and onlookers. As the fir e diminished and appeared contained\, nearing 11:00 PM\, surrounding neigh borhoods began to clear and onlookers went home\, most unaware of the loss of life during the blaze.\nAccording to Charleston County Coroner Rae Woo ten\, the firefighters died of a combination of smoke inhalation and burns \, but not from injuries sustained from the collapse itself.[5] It was the greatest single loss of firefighters in the United States since 343 firef ighters were lost in the collapse of the World Trade Center which resulted from the terrorist attacks of September 11\, 2001. It was also the deadli est fire in the state of South Carolina since 11 people died in a blaze at the Lancaster County jail in 1979.\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/niosh/fire/reports /face200718.html\n LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
