That remark that no firefighters did entry in Building 7 doesn't ring true to me. I have seen it blogged all over the net, and it's purported to be from the FEMA report, but I too looked through Chapter 5 of the report and that's really all I could find that mentions firefighters specifically.

Firefighters know--and have for a long time--that fire (with a normal fuel load) doubles every 30 seconds. (That should be taken with a grain of salt because if there's restricted O2 supply or other factors (sprinkler systems) then the doubling isn't accurate.) Anyway, we also know that fast attack is essential to saving lives/property. They put the wet stuff on the red stuff kinda thing. There are really only four ways to put a fire out. Reduce the heat, reduce the fuel, reduce the oxygen, interrupt the sustained chemical reaction. Do any one of those things (or combinations thereof) and the fire goes out.


I haven't much time at this moment, but I'd request if you do/don't nail down where that 'no ffs were in the building', please post it here, OK, or message me. Thanks, Art.
