Fire at Magic Kingdom

[ToTBellHop]

From fireworks that hadn't yet gone off? NYP doesn't even try to make sense of stuff before they post.

Have you heard of the multiverse?

So going to press is more important than being factually correct?

For the media it is.

For the media it is.

Oh absolutely. I just don’t know why some on here seem to support that. We all know that’s what happens, but we shouldn’t use it as an excuse for faulty reporting and misinformation

Stating a fact it is what it is, ( Bit for a plug, I know some journalists who do good work ) but some put out misinformation it is a support for the media.

You were joking about a wildfire.

You know I was talking about Chapek in a sarcastic way about his "successes" ?
You need to learn to read the whole sentence than just focusing on a single word you dislike.

 

[Cesar R M]

There are a number of things done in our world there is no excuse for with no end in sight but it is what it is.

But if the fire was on the moat... Then it might be more likely to do with the spotlights and not the fireworks?

 

[Cesar R M]

new night parade....yes!

Speaking of parades.. Has Disney ever made a parade to congratulate rescuers like EMTs and Fire-fighters?

The number of "news" outlets that go to press without giving a party adequate time to comment is astounding. Therefore I can imagine most "news" outlets also prioritize going to press over making sure everything is neat and tidy.

Well, consider the fact that many newsoutlets no longer pay decent journalists.. as they prefer to just take tweets of people that CLAIMS to be "on the scene" with no verification.

Only the CM knows if they are even talking.

You can take your dislike for Chapek to the Chapek threads. This thread is about the fire.

Damn, I forgot you were a moderator.. oh wait..

Deflect, nice try.

I suppose there would be Monday morning quarterbacking had the castle caught fire and burned down too…

While I do think driving down Main Street may have been a tad excessive and reactionary, I don’t know the full details. A brush fire can get out of hand pretty quickly if it’s been dry, and with all of the accompaniments added to the castle right now, it may be slightly more at risk than normal.

The experts would know, and they decided trucks needed to roll down Main Street. Simple as that.

It was a brush fire (hence the one engine). And the security guard who inhaled dry chemical agent from the extinguisher who was having trouble breathing as a result (hence the two ambulances, one BLS and one ALS).

An activated alarm would have brought at least 2 engines, a ladder and a battalion chief.
A confirmed structure fire would probably bring all 4 companies and both battalion chiefs.

If the guard was wearing a N95 mask, there would perhaps not be a need for medical.

What does they type of mask have to do with anything?

 

[Lilofan]

Simple, it ( N95) would have kept out the fumes that he inhaled. Not too hard to understand.

I get that, but the general public doesn’t wear N95s. I don’t understand why you expect someone to wear one, just seems like a random comment

Besides, they’re currently not super easy to come by, and aren’t very effective unless fitted properly. Dry chem gets everywhere when used.

Not that I can recall. My hometown has parades like this all the time. Fire trucks, marching bands, veterans. I believe there was a brief first responder discount sometime after 9/11.

Clearly, the fire was Dr. Fauci's fault.

N95 masks are against Disney Policy for Cast Members. Cast Members are to wear company issued masks to please the Disney Look freaks.

Very true. Large amounts of responding RCFD units for alarms and confirmed structure fires.

N95 masks keep out airborne particulate matter and liquids. They do not protect against fumes.

Nitrogen or CO2 are the most common propellants for dry chem fire exringuishers. A N95 would not prevent inhalation of these gases.

To protect from fumes or gases, a true respirator (which requires fit testing) with appropriate filtration is required.

However, you would be correct that an N95 would provide protection to the wearer from inhaling the powder extinguishing agent in the dry Chem fire extinuisher.
