Today is the 25th anniversary of the burning of the Branch Davidian compound outside of Waco, Texas. Early on the morning of the initial raid, Feb. 28, 1993, ATF agents came to Houston Fire Department Station 64 (engine, ladder, chief, medic) on Greens Road across the street from Runway 15 at IAH. They came to pick up their raid equipment trailer stored there. Since it was near change of tour (0630 hrs) there were plenty of firemen watching. Other than asking to have a rig moved out of the way, the agents didn't say a word. Of course, hours later it would be obvious where they were headed. One of the agents in this group at 64's that morning would be one of the LODDs in the raid.
