Located at 176 Peachtree Street in downtown Atlan ta\, Georgia\, USA\, the Winecoff Hotel was advertised as "absolutely fire proof." While the hotel's steel structure was indeed protected against the effects of fire\, the hotel's interior finishes were combustible\, and th e building's exit arrangements consisted of a single stairway serving all fifteen floors. All of the hotel's occupants above the fire's origin on th e third floor were trapped\, and the fire's survivors either were rescued from upper-story windows or jumped into nets held by firemen. The fire was notable for the number of victims who jumped to their deaths. The fire\, which followed the June 5\, 1946 La Salle Hotel fire in Chicago with 61 fa talities\, and the June 19\, 1946 Canfield Hotel fire in Dubuque\, Iowa wi th 19 fatalities\, spurred significant changes in building codes\, most si gnificantly requiring multiple protected means of egress and self-closing fire-resistive doors for guest rooms in hotels.\n\nhttp://www.winecoffhote lfire.com/\n LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Vandalia Ave\, New York\, New York (1998) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251218T050000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251219T050000Z UID:188916008831 DESCRIPTION:Vandalia Ave\, New York\, New York (1998)-Three FDNY Firefight ers died in-the line of duty while conducting suppression and rescue opera tions at fire on the tenth floor of 10-story high-rise apartment building for the elderly. At 0454 hours Brooklyn transmitted box 4080 for a top flo or fire at 17 Vandalia Avenue in the Starrett City development complex. Th e sprawling complex is located on Brooklyn’s south shore in the Spring C reek section. The 10 story 50 x 200 fireproof building is used as a senior citizen’s residence. Engine 257 and ladder 170\, both quartered in Cana rsie\, were assigned 1st due and arrived within 4 minutes. By that time th e fire already could be seen blowing through two windows. Second and 3rd a larms were quickly transmitted. As the 1st due Ladder Company\, L170′s duty is to search the fire floor. Lieutenant Joseph Cavalieri\, and fire f ighters Christopher Bopp and James Bohan ascended 10 flights of stairs wit h extinguishers and forcible entry tools. Their mission was to rescue the resident of apartment 10-D who was believed trapped inside. This wind-dri ven fire event and the lessons-learned contributed directly to the current body of research and new insights on emerging strategies and tactics.\n\n http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/fire/reports/face9901.html\n\nhttp://commandsafet y.com/2009/12/fdny-brooklyn-box-4080-17-vandalia-avenue-12-18-98/\n LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Pioneer International Hotel Fire (1970) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251220T050000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251221T050000Z UID:188216924963 DESCRIPTION:After midnight\, on December 20\, 1970\, a possible car fire w as reported near the Pioneer. Minutes later\, a fire was confirmed\, howev er\, not a car fire\, but a fire inside the Pioneer Hotel. 28 fatalities occurred from people trapped on the 6th through 11th floors. Of 28 victim s\, carbon monoxide poisoning took 16 lives\, burns claimed 7\, and smoke inhalation was responsible for 1 death. “Fall” was responsible for the death of 4 victims. Fire Investigators found that the fire was ignited b y an arsonist in at least two separate locations on the fourth floor. Tho ugh the hotel was touted as fireproof\, several factors contributed to thi s fire: Open stairways\, synthetic carpeting\, vinyl wall coverin\, painte d doors and frames. The hotel also had no sprinklers or smoke detectors. As a direct result of this tragedy in Tucson\, uniform fire codes were es tablished nationally.\n\nhttp://tucsoncitizen.com/paranormal/2010/12/18/pi oneer-international-hotel-fire-forty-year-old-tragedy-still-haunts-tucson/ LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Brackenrdige Fire Brackenridge\, PA (1991) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251220T050000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251221T050000Z UID:110300345846 DESCRIPTION:Four volunteer firefighters died when they were trapped by a p artial floor collapse during a structure fire in Brackenridge\, Pennsylvan ia\, on the morning of December 20\, 1991. All four were members of a mutu al aid truck company that had responded to the early morning incident and were assigned to prevent fire extension from the basement to the ground fl oor of a 2-story building. Although they were wearing full protective clot hing and using self-contained breathing apparatus\, it appears that they w ere overwhelmed by the severe fire conditions that erupted when a section of the ground floor collapsed into the basement. The collapse cut off thei r primary escape path\, and the fire burned through their hose line\, leav ing them without protection from the flames. \nSUMMARY OF KEY ISSUES\n•S ituation: Fire in enclosed room in basement. Unable to locate fire because of smoke. Smoke and heat increasing\, but no visible fire.\n•Structure: Appeared to be heavy concrete construction. Actually thin concrete floors supported by unprotected steel.\n•Contents: Furniture refinishing busin ess. Quantities of flammable finishes and solvents in basement.\n•Exits: One entrance/ exit on each level\; no alternate exits.\n•Structural Col lapse: Floor section collapsed between interior crew and their only exit. Fire overwhelmed crew.\n•Rescue Attempts: Valiant rescue efforts proved unsuccessful. Unsure if missing members fell into basement or were trapped on ground floor.\n•Incident Command: No formal command system or person nel accountability in place. Chief of first-due company in command of inci dent\; Assistant Chiefs assigned to basement and ground floor.\n•Informa tion: No pre-fire plan and no detailed knowledge of occupancy. Clues of st ructural danger not recognized as fire conditions increased\n•Communicat ions: Radio system inadequate for current needs.\n•Response: Independent volunteer companies. Mutual aid requested on arrival and additional compa nies called in succession.\n•Weather: Extremely cold night\, predawn hou rs. Problems with frozen hydrants.\n•Water System: Weak supply. Extensiv e mutual aid and long relays needed to protect exposures.\nThe analysis of this incident provides several valuable lessons for the fire service. Unf ortunately these are all revisited lessons\, not new discoveries. These fi refighters died in the line of duty\, while conducting operations that app eared to be routine\, and were unaware of the situation that was developin g below them. They died in spite of the fact that they were experienced\, they were operating with a standard approach to operational safety\, and t hey were the object of repeated rescue attempts by highly capable comrades .\n LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Stockyard Cold Storage Fire\, Chicago IL (1910) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251222T050000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251223T050000Z UID:938244372744 DESCRIPTION:In 1910\, Chicago’s Union Stockyards and Transit Company was one of the world’s largest centers of industry. The 450-acre site conta ined thousands of wooden animal pens\, barns\, haylofts\, slaughterhouses\ , packing plants\, and warehouses owned and operated by more than 100 sepa rate meatpacking businesses. The Union Stockyards\, famously documented in Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle\, established Chicago as the “Hog Butcher to the World\,” but the site was also home to the worst fire service di saster in Illinois history. \nAt 4 AM on December 22\, 1910\, a night watc hman reported a fire in the basement of a six-story cold storage building operated by the Nelson Morris Company. The refrigerated warehouse was a pa rticularly dangerous fire hazard as the interior walls and floors were woo den and soaked in animal fat and grease. Furthermore\, the warehouse conta ined hundreds of cured hogs that were preserved with saltpeter\, one of th e main ingredients in gunpowder. Although Chicago firefighters responded w ithin minutes from the two stockyard firehouses and from elsewhere in the city\, any hope of dousing the fire before it spread to the rest of the bu ilding was lost when the firefighters discovered that the nearby fire hydr ants had been shut off to prevent freezing. The warehouse was engulfed in flames by the time firefighters located and activated the water valves tha t fed the fire hydrants. \nNumerous physical obstacles further restricted the fire fighting efforts\, as railway cars\, brick walls\, and other ware houses closely surrounded the cold storage building. These obstructions ma de it impossible to set up ladders and\, as a result\, the firefighters we re unable to reach the warehouse’s upper floor windows to open the iron shutters and release the pressure that was building up inside. The heat fr om the fire caused the cold air inside the refrigerated warehouse to expan d at a dangerous rate and\, at about 5 AM\, the pressure inside the buildi ng produced a massive explosion. Chief Fire Marshal James Horan had just a rrived and was directing operations from the building’s loading dock whe n the explosion occurred. An entire six-story wall collapsed on the loadin g dock\, killing Horan\, 2nd Assistant Chief Fire Marshal William Burrough s\, three captains\, four lieutenants\, and twelve other firefighters. \nF ire fighting efforts were severely complicated by the explosion\, not only because the command structure was decimated\, but also because the blast had \nset a nearby seven-story lard house on fire. Moreover\, department p ersonnel were diverted to try to rescue the firefighters buried by the col lapsed wall. First Assistant Chief Charles Seyferlich\, now in command\, c alled in several special alarms\, bringing more than 50 engine companies a nd hundreds of off- duty firefighters to the scene. Fire fighting operatio ns lasted for more than 24 hours before the blaze was completely extinguis hed and the last bodies were recovered from the rubble. With 21 firefighte rs killed\, the Union Stockyard Fire ranks behind the 9-11 Terrorist Attac ks and the 1947 Texas City Disaster as the third largest loss of firefight ers in a single event in U.S. history. \n\nhttp://my.firefighternation.com /profiles/blogs/paying-tribute-the-100th\n\n LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Keokuk Fire\, Keokuk\, IA DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251222T050000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251223T050000Z UID:889199741898 DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, December 22\, 1999\, a fire was reported in a mult ifamily dwelling in Keokuk\, Iowa. Several neighbors phoned the Keokuk 911 center to report smoke coming from a residence\, and that a woman was out side screaming that there were children trapped inside.\n\nAssistant Fire Chief Dave McNally\, 48\, Firefighter Jason Bitting\, 29\, and Firefighter Nate Tuck\, 39 were killed while attempting the rescue of 3 trapped kids in that fire-who also perished. The 3 Firefighters left 8 kids of their ow n behind. The Firefighters died when a flashover occurred while the 3 were doing their search. The fire started in the kitchen of an old wooden two- story b/f home that had been converted into apartments. Staffing is a majo r issue in Keokuk\, and that morning\, 4 of the 5 total (+ the Chief) on d uty firefighters arrived on scene with heavy smoke showing\, and upon hear ing the mother screaming that her children were trapped inside\, they imme diately and understandably went in after them.When "Mom" screams that her kids are inside-we go in. \n\nThe 3 were inside\, (the Asst Chief and 2 FF /pump operators) a Lt. was on the hydrant-couldn't see the building and on e Firefighter was on side "A"... starting to pack up\, to back the interio r members up. The Chief made the terribly difficult decision to leave the scene for 3 minutes to personally transport a non-breathing rescued child- -there were no other resources available... none. The hospital was a minut e away. When he returned\, the flashover had already occurred with only th e Lt. and the one Firefighter left outside. A/C Dave McNally\, FF Jason Bi tting\, and FF Nate Tuck perished in that duplex.

The play’s scenery consisted of many canv as backdrops decorated in highly flammable oil paints\, and when a hot sta ge light ignited a velvet curtain the backdrops soon went up in flames. Th is eventually caused the deaths of 602 people\, making this the most fatal single-building fire in U.S. history.\nAlthough the lighting and scenery fire hazards started the fire\, the high number of fatalities resulted fro m the theatre’s failure to take proper fire safety precautions. There we re no automatic fire sprinklers for the stage\, and the stage’s fire cur tain did not close properly to contain the fire. In addition\, there was n o emergency lighting\, the stage’s smoke and heat vents were not functio nal\, and many exit doors were either locked or did not swing in the direc tion of travel.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iroquois_Theatre_fire\n\n LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Pang Fire-Seattle DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20250105T050000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260106T050000Z UID:307098852337 DESCRIPTION:On January 5\, 1995\, four Seattle firefighters die in an arso n fire that destroys a warehouse in the International District. The firefi ghters are part of a five-alarm response to the blaze at 811 7th Avenue S\ , which was set by the building’s… owner\, Martin Pang. The tragedy tr iggers criticism of the Seattle Fire Department’s training and safety pr actices. \nAt approximately 7:00 p.m. on January 5 1995\, the Seattle Fire Department responded to a fire alarm at Pang International Foods\, Inc.\, a wooden warehouse built in 1908. The response grew to involve more than 100 men and women. Firefighters did not have accurate plans for the struct ure and a floor over a hidden basement collapsed. The four firefighters wh o died were:\n• Lt. Gregory M. Shoemaker\, age 43\; \n•Lt. Walter D. K ilgore\, age 45\; \n•James T. Brown\, age 25\; \n•Randall R. Terlicker \, age 35.\nAn investigation revealed that the fire was set by Martin Pang in order to collect the insurance and to clear the property for developme nt. Pang fled to Brazil and could not be extradited for murder. After thre e years of legal and diplomatic wrangling\, Pang was returned to Seattle w here he pleaded guilty to four counts of manslaughter. He was sentenced to 35 years in prison. Pang’s ex-wife and an FBI informant shared a $36\,0 00 reward posted for his arrest and conviction.\nThe fire exposed problems with the Seattle Fire Department’s training and safety programs. Fire D epartment leaders had learned of Pang’s plans weeks before and had alert ed battalion chiefs to prepare for it\, but they did not intervene. The fi refighters were sent into the building even though no lives were threatene d. Survivors of the dead men filed lawsuits charging the City of Seattle w ith negligence. They won their cases with awards ranging from $450\,000 to $5.6 million. In the one case that went to trial\, the jury held the Fire Department 75 percent responsible for the tragedy and arsonist Pang 25 pe rcent responsible.\n\nhttp://www.usfa.fema.gov/downloads/pdf/publications/ tr-077.pdf\n LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
