On September 5, 1998, a career fire department responded to a mutual aid call from a volunteer/on-call department to assist in a large warehouse fire. The career department arrived on the scene and was postioned at the north end of the structure. A 54-year-old male fire fighter (victim) has opened a large set of barn-like doors on the north end to provide an opening for an exterior attack. The doors were hinged to be self-closing. The doors closed, and the fire fighter was returning to prop open the doors.
