It is part of the hospital, mostly doctor's offices and part of the cancer center. It's not a traditional department like the ER, OR, ICU, etc like one would expect. This is a multi-campus hospital that covers several blocks so it is a part of it.

Per the media, the 3 firefighters who made the mayday calls were recovered and sent to the hospital. 2 with smoke inhalation and heat exhaustion, the third firefighter possibly went into cardiac arrest.

Details can be found at the above listed Asheville Citizen Times Website and WLOS.com

Media confirms that the cardiac patient from the earlier fire has passed away.

Thoughts and prayers to the firefighter's family and friends.

I don't think stuff like this should be posted for everyone to hear. I'm sorry if people disagree with me, but the wife and kids and his family shouldn't have to hear his last words while dying in this fire. This is why I'm strong opponent of end-to-end encryption on everything.

now i think thats taking it a little to far its a hobby & we + any one else should be able to listen, but the use to place blame or imply guilt isn't right.

They can get the exact same recordings by sending a request to their 911 center. So having them here makes no difference. I don't sense "blame" in this, but it does raise a question for someone on why it took so long for water to get there?
