The issue focused on the lack of an effective, comprehensive response by the city's Department of Emergency Services, Public Buildings Department and Fire and EMS personnel to the fire, according to city officials. "It wasn't a problem until after it was declared a terrorist attack," said Mayor John Cranley, who added that the incident could have been handled by the city's Firefighters' Union. The fire was reported at about 6:30 p.m. in the building of the Department of Emergency Services at 617 S
