Does this mean the Hookers will be having a fire sale?

I bet Britney was smoking crack in the penthouse suite and passed out causing the fire.

A 3 alarm fire is when all the resources of 3 fire stations respond....and so on.

Did the building disintegrate and collapse into its own footprint at near free-fall velocity, such as we saw with World Trade Center #7?

crz - you never know - they will have to investigate the orgin and cause of the fire once they get it out. Arson is always a possibility in every fire.

That''s too bad. I like the Monte Carlo. Did you hear that Fox news had put up a sensationalized headlines that multiple properties were evacuated. I like the Paris, Monte Carlo and Venetian as our favorites.

Exactly--everyone knows 3-alarm chili is spicier than 2-alarm chili.

cdfox

a 3 alarm fire is where the initial response is sent out - usually an engine - a pumper and a ladder truck - 2 alarm is when they call for a second response with more engines and personnel - 3rd alarm follows the 2nd alarm - more equipment and more personnel to fight the fire. This fire is far from beeing a bs story.

The media uses numbers to determine how serious the fire is cdfoxtrot. Such as 2 Alarm Fire or 3 Alarm Fire...

"3-Alarm Blaze At Las Vegas Hotel-Casino". What''s a "3-Alarm" fire? It''s a b.s. story to begin with, but why not explain the jargon?
