Edmonton Mayday Audio

Here is the audio from a Mayday in Edmonton. It seems on the surface a well handled Mayday. Here is an exerpt from the Edmonton Journal:

"Firefighters were called to the building at 1815 111A St. at about 2:40 p.m. Clouds of smoke from the fire could be seen from several blocks away. The smell of smoke and burning debris was strong throughout the area. Tongues of fire leaped from the top floor of the four-storey building as firefighters aimed their water hoses at the north exterior of the building.


Fire department spokesman Tim Wilson said additional firefighters were called to the scene at about 3:10 p.m. Still more fire crews were called to the scene by about 7 p.m.


Darren Smith, who lives alone in a fourth-floor suite in the building, said the smoke in the hallways wasn’t too heavy when firefighters arrived, but the flames quickly spread.


“The end result — this building is done,” Smith said, looking at the smoke and flames spewing from the roof of his building. "

Seems as though this one went well, and all the brothers made it out.  Review your policies, and any IC's out there learn how to manage a mayday, it is an important skill.  Study up everyone.
