I wonder if they have in-house firefighters..hell fighters for situations like that where workers are cross-trained to get after it. I know that equipment wasn't rigged in 2 minutes.

A lot of these companies are far too small to even consider having a staff that is trained and equipped to deal with these type of incidents considering how infrequently they occur. In a situation like this, they would bring in one of the specialists like Safety Boss or Firemaster who they keep on a retainer.

That's a day ruiner. Have you taken NIMS class? Dad (I'm only a black hat...) wanted to pull his nails out.
