Haunted house a little scarier than imagined

Audio from Six Flags America fire from DC Fire Feeds
There are a lot of things that are supposed to get your heart racing and illicit screams at the "Frightorium Haunted House" at Six Flags America in Largo, MD. Fire, though, isn't supposed to be one of them.
Wednesday evening at 7:00 PM firefighters arrived at the amusement park to find heavy fire conditions in the rear of the one-story wooden building. According to Prince George's County Fire/EMS Department Chief Spokesman Mark Brady, the fire had broken through the roof and was moving toward the center of the structure when firefighters stopped its spread.
Six Flags of America's staff had moved people out of the area and had to close the park because of the arriving fire equipment. The building was vacant. It is normally open in the month of October as a walk-through haunted house.
Brady believes the building to be a total loss, but was not able to provide a damage estimate. The cause of the fire has not been released.
When will they learn and sprinkler these things?
I don't thing they were going to sprinkler it after the fact.......
tell teh story about the first due engine not laying a supply line in
tell about the second engine laying 1500' of 3" hose ( for what?)
There was a big fire in play land but it turned out to be more a circus than a amusement park and the PGFD brass those arrogant volunteer hating, take command because I can wackos almost got somebody killed....tell that story STATTER
post that tape on this site and lets see if I am some wacko
What utter nonsense how do we justify paying that guy DEPUTY CHIEF 802
Statter I would hate to issue a public challenge but if you can't get that tape published unedited I will stop believing in you!
and yes I am anonymous because if I used me own name they would concoct some more of their silly nonsense to try and screw me
that tape aint anonymous though
I have listened to the first 20 minutes of the audio so far. Clearly there is a serious issue about not everyone being on the same page on exterior operations that occurs just before the 20-minute mark. I have asked questions about this and expect to write something up later in the week.
Thanks for the tip.
