Incident command's ... even so, it is harder than hell to keep first responders from doing their job.

That contributed to the loss of firefighters on 9/11 ... they kept climbing up, even when it was pretty clear that there wasn't anything for them to do up there, just in case there was.

Even though I'm somewhat familiar with things like incident command, I was always surprised that they set up the command post in the lobby of building. I guess that's something that's common for working a high-rise fire, but it always seemed unusual to me.
