Alan Jacobs > "Some of the most notable fires that have affected the fire service have involved bowstring truss construction. On August 2, 1978, six New York City firefighters were killed and 34 were injured fighting a fire in a supermarket when the roof collapsed. On July 1, 1988, five Hackensack, NJ, firefighters were killed while operating under a bowstring truss roof fighting a fire in an auto dealership. On February 11, 1998 two Chicago firefighters were killed and three were injured while fighting a fire in a automotive tire service center. Twenty years of time passed between these three incidents listed, yet we as a fire service even until today in 2007, some 29 years later, are still making some of the same mistakes that are putting our personnel in danger."
