10 firefighters were killed - plus 2 helpers plus 3 nearby civilians
1 lodd was a captain on the dallas fd - no idea what he was doing
there - he arrived and offered some advice
5 of the lodd were from the west fd - the rest were from other FDs
the blast was only 20 minutes into the call
2 lodd were from abbott fd which is nearby
apparently there was a ems class underway nearby - maybe 3 of the lodd
came from that ems class
some of the FFs actually wanted to withdraw before the explosion - its
in the lodd report linked above
