Each time I watching something in the fire news I try and find a resource that I can use in my own support of local firefighters in Michigan. This is video is of the pier of Ocean Side CA. I have been there before and its in SoCal. I think highly of our local Cali firefighters.
100 firefighters helped out and they recently got it under control. It appears 90% of the structure is still good. Stubborn fire at iconic Oceanside, Calif., pier now under control, officials say
This place has an interesting fire research grant that someone might be interested in. A researcher should study how fires behave on piers as it appears much of the flames were in tough to reach places so it lingered on for some time. (I think it is possible to create a study out of the data they may have collected. Not for me but I'm sure someone will do it.)
I came across this interesting organization The Fire Research Division "develops, verifies, and utilizes measurements and predictive methods to quantify the behavior of fire and means to reduce the impact of fire on people, property, and the environment."
Firefighting is a good occupation for the young who want to find meaningful ways to serve.
