They have built more banks here in the past 2 years.
I know Cheyenne is the financial capitol of Wyoming, but do we really need this much?

There are so many people in WY, you need lots of banks to hold all the money...

Thats crappy.

Btw, I wish you FDNY boys were here, it took these guys a while to put this thing out today, we don't normally have large fires, in fact, our annual Fire Dept call logs stated that 78% of them were medical responses.

Today, Cheyenne saw how ill-prepared our boys born of fire are.

They had to pull every volunteer out of work, bed and the showers and load them on a city bus to speed them on over to help, they had every engine, ladder and pump truck on scene, the pump trucks were screaming, water was pouring out of the building, I think they had a total of 18 lines charged up on this blaze, they had 3 fuel trucks brought in to fill the rigs back up with fuel, they had the local Air force battalion on standby.

It's not a small building, and the whole thing was lit up.

Sounds like the basic 'ya all come now' fire. I am not a member of FDNY, but of a small well trained volunteer department up near Rochester, NY.
In my 18 almost 19 years of being in the department, I have been at 3 large fires. The most recent one was about a year and a half ago when one of the local VFW Posts went up. It took about 24 departments and around 120 personnel to bring it under control. Most of that man power was needed for water supply operations becasue the water mains could not supply the water demand and it had to be hauled in. The other two fires were at a local lumber yard and an abandoned fertilizer plant.
