Guess I'm as guilty has the rest when it comes to not participating on this board.
Really all of that? I was just saying where'd all the people go.
One of the firefighters killed today was a female, and became the second woman to die in the line of duty as a Houston firefighter.
At least six firefighters were injured battling the fire and were taken to the hospital.
The deaths today made the fire the deadliest in the history of the Houston Fire Department, The Associated Press reported.
"Houston firefighters mourn the loss of our three brothers and our sister and will forever honor their sacrifices," said Jeff Caynon, president of the Houston Professional Fire Fighters Association. "This tragedy underscores the inherent dangers of our profession. Please keep Houston firefighters in your thoughts and prayers."
Caynon said the Houston Professional Fire Fighters Association and the International Association of Fire Fighters were monitoring the conditions of the six injured firefighters and would be assisting them and their families.
More than 100 units responded to the fire and 155 firefighters were on scene in teams, KTRK reported. Firefighters were shuttling in and out of the fire, battling not only the intense heat and smoke but a wind that would not quit.
KTRK reported that the blaze burned out of control into the afternoon, several firefighters were overcome by dehydration from the intense heat and the blistering 95-degree temperature.
Late this afternoon, the fire was finally brought under control, according to KTRK. The cause was not known.

Lou, here is the breakdown. It all starts with a lie.
1. Small contractors are told the free market doesn't work and low ball hacks can only be eliminated by tougher regs.
2. Like sheep to the slaughter small, responsible contractors donate their hard earned money to orgs run by large operations with the promise that they will eventually be able to charge more.
3. Using your donations Large operations tailor the rules to their own benefit each year making it harder and harder for you to comply.
4. Eventually the only way you can work is to work for them. Either you end up subbing for them for pennies after you or your father have spent a lifetime building a real, responsible business, or, if you are real lucky you can take on a job stocking shelves at their warehouse.
Either way you are done for and another industry has been destroyed by a few.

The fire's cause hasn't been released in the Houston restaurant/motel fire. While the fire did start in the restaurant it is unknown (to the public) at this time exactly where.
