DESCRIPTION:Worcester Cold Storage Fire\, Worcester MA (1999)-The Worceste
 r Cold Storage Warehouse fire was a fire that began on December 3\, 1999\,
  in Worcester\, Massachusetts. It started when two homeless and mentally d
 isabled people\, Thomas Levesque and Julie Ann Barnes\, who were living in
 side the warehouse\, knocked over a candle after an argument earlier in th
 e afternoon. Both fled without reporting the fire to emergency services.[1
 ] The structure was located five blocks east of the Worcester central busi
 ness district\, near the Union Station train station and adjacent to Inter
 state highway 290. The fire would eventually grow to five-alarm status and
  rage for six days before being brought under control. Firefighting compan
 ies from the city and from neighboring towns were called to respond. Six W
 orcester firefighters died in the fire.\nReports that homeless people were
  possibly inside the engulfed warehouse caused fire-rescue personnel to se
 arch the six-story building. The searchers' task was made extremely diffic
 ult by the large size of the building's interior\, the layout which was a 
 maze of corridors and meat lockers\, many with identical flush-handle door
 s\, and the highly flammable composition of its insulation.[1] Nearly a ce
 ntury old\, the interior walls had been progressively covered with various
  forms of insulating materials\, including cork impregnated with tar\, pol
 ystyrene foam\, and polyurethane foam\, to a thickness of 18 inches. Once 
 ignited\, the large amount of fuel\, fed initially by the large volume of 
 air in the building\, became virtually inextinguishable.\nThe six-story bu
 ilding's exterior walls were constructed of approximately 18 inches of bri
 ck and mortar\, with no windows above the second floor.[1] The lack of ava
 ilable windows prevented firefighting personnel from making an accurate in
 itial assessment of the fire. Initial breaching of lower-floor doors\, com
 bined with venting the building by smashing an elevator-shaft roof skyligh
 t\, effectively turned the building into a huge chimney. With the fire rap
 idly accelerating out of control\, rescue teams facing near-zero visibilit
 y became lost with available breathing air depleted. Despite repeated radi
 o calls for help\, along with activation of audible location alarms\, six 
 firefighters\, who have since become known as the Worcester 6\, perished i
 n the blaze.[2] It took eight days to find and recover the remains of the 
 six men.[1]\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvEGV8NveHo\n\nhttp://www.u
