Please join the Shawnee Fire Department, in association with WHP Training Towers , Murphy's Fire and Rescue, and Conrad Fire Equipment in welcoming Worcester District Chief John Sullivan to the Kansas City area for an in-depth presentation of the 1999 "Cold Storage" fire that resulted in the death of six Firefighters.

District Chief, John Sullivan, will guide the presentation using his personal experiences from the Worcester Cold Storage fire as a line officer (then a lieutenant). Sullivan led multiple search-and-rescue attempts into the building and subsequently lost two crew members to the inferno.

This first-hand account provides critical insight into the event and emphasizes the "lessons learned" aspects of analysis and commentary on the effect of the event. The Worcester Fire Department is resolute in its mission to ensure that the same fate never befalls another department for lack of insight.
