At a morning news briefing Thursday, fire officials said all three firefighters were unharmed and have contacted their families to inform them of the evening's event.
Fire shelters are tent-like devices built of reflective materials designed to protect firefighters from burns in emergency situations. The fire shelters deployed during Wednesday night's blowup worked as intended, and saved the firefighters from harm.
Such investigations are routine, they said, and are intended to determine if the need for shelter deployment could have been prevented.
