Fire Department Instructors Conference, Los Angeles, 2005.  A number of Andy's Ambassadors and H.O.T. instructors gathered in Los Angeles somehow find their way to a working fire in an occupied multiple dwelling.  Chief Dave McGrail, Lead H.O.T. instructor regrettably missed the photo op while parking the van.  Special thanks to the Los Angeles FD for their incredible hospitality.
