Fire Apparatus Operator Larry Leggio and Firefighter John Mesh were killed when a 100-year-old building collapsed during an arson fire; two other firefighters suffered severe injuries.
The report is the product of nearly six months of detailed research and analysis conducted by a team of experienced KCFD professionals. It reflects systematic review and in-depth examination of essentially all KCFD policies, directives, and procedures related tostructural firefighting.

Several of these recommendations have already been implemented and work is in progress on the remainder.
消防局长保罗·贝拉迪（Paul Berardi）说：“我承认这场大火出现了问题，两名好人死了。”“本报告的目的是减少再次发生这种情况的可能性。我们最深切的义务是学习在哪里可以使我们的行动更安全，更有效，并确保我们与各地的消防员分享那些悲惨的教训。”
An independent investigation of the incident will also be reported by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health later this year.
