On today’s Humpday Hangout, Bill Gustin, Mike Dugan, and their guests discuss what Bill terms “vertical lumberyards,” namely pedestal construction and large, lightweight wood-frame apartment buildings. They talk to Edgewater (NJ) Deputy Chief Pat Chevalier about the massive fire his department dealt with in this type of structure. They also speak with Les Ennis, retired member of the Tampa (FL) Fire Department, about a fire in the historic neighborhood of Ybor City.
