Default Fire.Fighter Dies in Toronto propane fire

We lost a fellow fire fighter in a Toronto propane fire Sunday night. I had met Bob Leek at Fire College on a course and I feel terrible for what has happened to him on Sunday night while working at the fire.RIP Fire Fighter Leek

That is sad. Any fire with Propane containers involved has such a terrible potential.

RIP FF Leek.

The guy who took my spot when I left(Atlanta Fire, Engine 16-C Shift Hoseman)was killed in a flashover.

Propane tanks are scary. We went on a roofing company job and they had several large propane tanks that were fully engulfed. They were all venting via their relief valves and I was sitting on a deluge gun (it wouldn't stay put by itself)trying to cool them down. That was 100% pucker factor. In hindsight we should have backed off and let them blow, but it all turned out fine and we saved several businesses that were exposures.
