Um...there's a word for times like this.

Irony.

Makes me wonder what went wrong for a group of firefighters to not be able to handle a training situation.

There'd have to be a bundle of guys on hand that have gone though the scenario tons of times.

If they've evac'd the area hopefully there aren't any firemen there fighting the thing...
