Hardfire WTC7
Arthur Scheuerman, retired Battalion Chief from the New York City Fire Department and author of 'Fire in the Skyscraper', talks about the collapse of World Trade Center 7 on September 11, 2001. Arthur was there, and saw the terrible damage the building had sustained from falling debris, the huge prolonged fires, and made the professional decision that the building was probably going to collapse. The Fire Department decided to "pull" all personnel from the building and from the probable collapse zone, hundreds of feet in every direction, including evacuating other buildings of both firefighters and civilians. Mark Roberts, 9/11 researcher, also appears. Hosted by Ronald Wieck. Taped for broadcast on March 4, 2008.
This is the "censored" version of the program. Manhattan Neighborhood Network, one of the public-access outlets where the program airs, does not allow authors to say that their books are available on amazon.com. The word "amazon" has been bleeped out of the program.

Some of the glaring conflicts between Pomaroos video show and Arthur Scheuermans article of Dec. 8, 2006
The Collapse of Building 7 by Arthur Scheuerman December 8, ‘06
from the video
Pomaroo: Do you think this was a safe building.
Arthur says "No" blah blah blaw yada yadayadayada
from Arthur's article
Because of the damage to the building and the failure of the water
supply, after talking to the owner, the Fire Department decided to evacuate the
building and not to attempt to control the fires but to let them burn out. Since it
was a “fire resistive” building, there would have been every expectation that the
fires would burn out without any local or global collapse. However, given that the
towers had collapsed and that there had been a serious interior collapse of
Building 5, there was concern, and the collapse area around the building was
cleared.

Mark Robertson: “people on the ground didn’t confer with anyone else”.

Pomaroo: "Now Arthur it sounds to me like this is an extraordinary feat by the fire department to avoid
any more loss of life on this terrible day".
Arthur says "Yeh, absolutely, especially when you abandon a building and there is an uncontrolled fire, there is a possibility of collapse no matter what kind of building it is uh if the fire is bad enough
