When i first saw a casino in Vegas was on fire, i just knew it would be New York New York, since we are headed there in 2 weeks.

How do they get a fire out from a building that tall?

Water usually works! :D




Im pretty sure there are Water Mains on each floor for firefighters to tie into.

Ha.Ha. Funny.Guy.

So they would go on the floor underneath the one burning, and put it out that way?

[BigBadBen]

Im not sure how they do it. Theres bound to be some OSU fire safety folks on here that would know.

Paul Newman and Steve McQueen would have blown up a water storage tank on the roof. I'm just sayin.

Jack Bauer would have done something similar, if the writers werent striking......
