Topic: Fire Department

Lieutenant Judy Hayes and Fire Chief Carlos Lerma discuss the local authorities' limited role in the military exercise, which was framed as a hazardous materials training session. The fire department was called only after the military was unable to extinguish a fire they started during the drill.

The speaker accuses the Justice Department of withholding videos of the Davidians to prevent public sympathy. He describes the aftermath of the fire, where federal agents raised the American, Texas, and ATF flags over the ruins. Thibodeau notes that fire trucks were ordered to stand down and were delayed at checkpoints while the building burned.
