Well I ran over and grabbed two of the guys. One guy I used to lift weights with.  He had a back injury.  The other guy Gary had a pretty bad concussion and some smoke inhalation.  I saw the JCFD chief getting wrapped up with bandages by Kearny EMS.  If you look real close you'll see a guy rolling around on the floor. That's him. It was a pretty serious event if you ask me.  Manpower cuts are no good.
