As for what went wrong, findings reveal the hose supplying her with oxygen was burned through during the blaze. 45 minutes worth of air disappeared in just 10 minutes. And along with outdated equipment, the feds cite other fatal factors like a backup team that took 21 minutes to arrive and the controversial brownout to cut city costs. We deem this to be an unsafe environment to work in and theyre reaffirmed by the tragic night that happened on december 9th of 2014. Reporter among the many suggested changes for the department is an upgrade to their breathing apparatus and that firefighters be neighborhood mayday techniques which are already being addressed. You have to have a facility for classroom and for on hand experience training. We dont have one. Our fire tower itself is unsay. It cant be used operationally to burn anything. Reporter and a lawsuit has been filed against the company that that makes this equipment.
