Serious Training Mishap on Video

You've got to watch this short video (courtesy of 43 Firefighter) that shows a serious live fire training mishap.

Click HERE for the video.

Why would someone even think about entering that environment? Something was seriously wrong here. I hope the firefighters weren't injured too seriously.

I don't have any details on this incident, but I'm doing some checking. If you have any info, I would appreciate it if you would send me an e-mail or leave a comment.

UPDATE: This video has apparently been around for some time. The incident happened at a public open house for a fire department in Maryland. Here is a thread from Firehouse.com where the video is discussed.

FYI, that is an old video from a few years ago in Prince George's County, Maryland. Trust me when I say that it will n ever happen here again.

Yeah, I don't think that is a mishap. It looks more like pure stupidity.
