SUMMARY:Beverly Hills Supper Club Fire\, Southgate\, KY (1977)

DESCRIPTION:The Beverly Hills Supper Club was remodeled and upgraded and o
 pened in 1971.  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

 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

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

SUMMARY:Father’s Day Fire \, NYC (2001)
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240617T040000Z
DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240618T040000Z

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

SUMMARY:Hotel Fire\, Boston\, MA\nHotel Vendome Fire (1972)

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
• Lieutenant THOMAS J. CARROLL\,
  E-32.
• Lieutenant JOHN E. HANBURY\, JR.\, L-13.
• Firefighter TH
 OMAS W. BECKWITH\, E-32.
• Firefighter JOSEPH E. BOUCHER\, JR.\, E-22.

 SON\, E-22.
• Firefighter RICHARD B. MAGEE\, E-33.
• Firefighter P
 AUL J. MURPHY\, E-32.
• Firefighter JOSEPH P. SANIUK\, L-13.\nBuilt in
  1871 and massively expanded in 1881\, the Hotel Vendome was a luxury hote
 l located in Boston’s Back Bay\, just north of Copley Square. 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

SUMMARY:Super Sofa Fire\, Charleston\, SC (2007)
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240618T040000Z
DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240619T040000Z
UID:612292425814
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
