What three points, details or references from the text did you follow up on to advance your understanding of the complexities of emergency response?

I researched the Iroquois Theater Fire in Chicago as well as the US Capitol Building burning in 1814 and the Hague Street boiler explosion.

I also researched the political fallout behind the 9/11 attacks as well as the structural issues with the building that occurred after the planes hit.
