The San Bernardino City, CA Fire Department responds to a structure fire with a victim trapped. This is a first hand look at how the engine company made the rescue. The footage was taken from both the engine captain's helmet camera as well as a local news reporter.
Solid work! Good tactics when faced with limited manpower, darken down the heavy fire, split the attack team (one keeping the fire in check, one searching the adjacent area(s)within voice range), then abandon the line to assist with victim removal.
ReplyDeleteI do not agree with the incoming companies staging when the is no apparent IC directing operations. Officers are there to make decisions based on the situation at hand when there is no formal command structure in place.
