Millbury fire officials dispatched theirs to ,a the scene but conditions in the buildings, with walls and floors CAMPAIGN z000 collapsing, negated the device's effect. According to experts, standard procedure is for each two-man crew �, to tether themselves to one another and anchor a line outside to help guide them out should they get lost or disoriented. E-mews But the tether is generally rope material and not intended for lengthy searches. Gary Allen, an expert in firefighting technique in Berkley, r 4�3 Calif., said in large fires in buildings that have many hallways, stairways and compartments, the tethered rescuers usually have a limit to how far they will go in, fearful of the rope burning behind seaY.coM them or floors collapsing around them. As a last resort, they could attempt to pull you out with it but it's not an absolute rescue tool," said Allen. ' 'It wouldn't be used where you would go in and it would be burned up behind you." AP WIRE Another firefighter from Worcester County said while the tethers can be as long as 800 feet, it's not intended to be used at that extreme I" distance. ;z • ' 'A lot of times, the thing is, if the rope burns, you're not where AP ARCHIVE you're supposed to be," he said. ' 'If the rope burns, you're going to burn." The firefighter, who is familiar with the Worcester Cold Storage building, called it a ' 'scary building." The four stories above the first floor have virtually no windows. He said as they opened doors behind them, the combustible gases from the smaller fires combined with the burning cork likely created an instant inferno. ' 'You've got superheated gases and once they let the oxygen in, it's just like a bomb, just like that movie ' Backdraft,' " he said. Worcester Deputy Fire Chief Gerard Dio said the men were carrying oxygen bottles with about 30 minutes of air. Those are typical of what most departments use although newer, lightweight oxygen tanks that have twice the air capacity are now starting to appear in service. Allen said the 30-minute estimate is at rest or with moderate exertion. During a frantic search up five flights would deplete the air supply faster. ' 'If you get 15 or 20 minutes under those kinds of conditions, you're • doing pretty good," said Allen.
