"Dante’s Inferno"

Dante was just a few months out of training when his company got a call in the early morning. He really didn’t pay attention to the address until they had pulled up to the building...The Sears Tower. The fire was located very high up so they all piled into an elevator and headed up. Since they were the second company in, they had to try to contact first company by stopping every 25th floor and radio them. Unbeknownst to Dante, The Sears Tower inhibits radio transmissions. When he was unable to contact the first company after a couple of tries, he got worried. He tried a few more times and then got frantic. Where were they? When they arrived 3 floors below the "fire...," as the elevator doors opened Dante tried to contact them again..., only to find the whole 1st co standing right in front of him.

The fire ended up being a false alarm. The low cloud coverage that day had looked like smoke.
