This is a shame and very sad.
I do think this will be a fire that will have some lessons learned. There were some pictures a bystander posted on Facebook which gives a good chronological events, capturing pics from even before crews arrived on scene.

On my local 10 P.M. (central time) news on 3/9/2012, it was announced that the ATF has ruled the fire that killed the Colby Firefighter as Accidental. They have narrowed it down to the lobby as to where the fire started but have not said what exactly was the cause. Also on the new, the local news had a crew at the funeral on 3/9/2012 and reported over 250 emergency vehicles from a total of 3 states as well as over 1000 personnel were at the funeral. This does not include all the citizens who showed up to pay their respects.

Link to pictures taken by bystander on day of the incident. I would like to note the PPV fans being placed in pic 55 to 57. Watch the chronological progression of the fire, smoke, etc from the pics until the FFs are out, and use that to train and to not let these results happen again.
