This is the Jocko Underground Podcast number 120 sitting here with Echo Charles. We had a fire at Victory

MMA and fitness. At first, so I saw it on the news.

It's giving people an update of what's going on.

I saw it on the news.

It actually in the news didn't look that bad.

Years ago we had didn't look that bad.

years ago we had a drunk driver hit a fire extinguisher right in front of victory MMA forM-A-Hara and then took off, but the fire-hydrant, the water was now pumping

out of the fl like a, like a geer and it would just pour it just shot up like a perfect stream and landed on the roof of victory and after it clogged up the drains, there was so much water.

Clogged up the drains, because there's like debris up there,

you know, palm leaves and whatever else was sitting up there.

So it clogged up the drains, some of the drains,

so it couldn't drain quick enough. So the water filled up the roof and boom, all that weight collapsed the roof with the air conditioners from the roof of the building were on the bottom floor.

So it was a major, major issue.

We were open in four days when that happened. That was 2008. So I saw this fire on the news. You know people and people sent me clips like, oh, victory's on fire.

Talk to Joe and you know, hey, man, what's going on?

And he's like, yeah, fire, like, we're, we're literally 200 yards from San Diego Fire Department station 20.

They're right there.

They got there real quick.

So I'm seeing on the news, this is the day we recorded. We were up in LA.

And I thought to myself, yeah, we're, you know, this is going to be, we'll be opening in what, week maybe two weeks so we start getting a little bit more

information I get down there the following day after the fire and it was bad

Got a debrief from the firefighters.
