My dude, what the hell are you doing inside a PARTIALLY COLLAPSED BUILDING?? You are unnecessarily putting emergency responders at risk if you get hurt in there. @CNN @LakeCharlesPD

This is what lightning does in 2020. Yikes.
The moments of a building in #shenyangcity, China hit by thunderstorms were captured by different people from different angles. It happened today. 8月3号下午17点53分，#沈阳 铁西区雷击超恐怖。多机位、多角度视频合成。

Consumer fireworks are illegal in MA. That didn’t stop this 46 in. launching stick from landing on my deck from the house across the street last night. Fortunately we were inside. Leave the fireworks to the pros. @NFPA

How many people need to die in fires before it’s universally accepted that a single-exit high-rise is a bad idea? Terrible. #nfpa101 #lifesafety

This would’ve been my 24th @NFPA C&E (only missed one while I’ve been on staff). Looking forward to seeing everyone in Las Vegas in 2021!

The changes to #nfpa101 #lifesafetycode are a legacy to the 100 lives lost 17 years ago today at the Station Nightclub. #nightclubsprinklers #crowdmanagers #meansofegress
On 2/20/03 a fire started by pyrotechnics at the Station Nightclub in West Warwick, RI killed 100 & injured 230. The bldg was overcapacity and lacked a required sprinkler system. Updates to the life safety code resulted including crowd manager training. #FireHistory #NeverForget
