I just watched the entire news story on that website. I can't believe the f'n reporter at the very end, when talking about the fire captain that is in critical condition, says "It is unclear whether he was wearing his helmet or not." WTF? Does anyone really think a helmet would make a damn bit of difference in this tragedy? I just know that I would hate to roll up on a scene like that and find one of our own is a victim. Like others have said, I am angry and sad. To those whose lives were taken, RIP, and I pray the others make a full recovery.

Yeah... None of these media jackasses even stop to think that a helmet is pretty useless when you're on fire and there's a 40,000 pound truck sitting on your chest.
