Attic Rescue

Thanks Dallas
 


Both videos are worth watching the first you make an opening and bring the downed firefighter back to your ladder for rescue.  Notice the constant air checks.





Video 2 is getting to the downed firefighter then cuting away part of the ceiling joist putting a ladder up and affecting rescue.  Notice the joist is cut away with a battery powered sawzaw this is because in the environment a chainsaw would not work (smoke).   This seemed faster.

1. Try to locate downed firefighter.
2. Get the ceiling pulled
3. Check air supply of FF
4. get FF out.
Think about this, having a plan for the worst case is always the best case.
Get them out of the attic fast, it is an oven up there and just because our gear can take it for seconds we will not last long. Temperatures of less than 400 degrees can cook you in minutes.
