That was a close call! As the spectator kept saying over and over, "well done!"

She did a selfless job. It's nice to see next to all the sad stuff you read about. From the pics it was a nice stop by Bridgeport FD.

Steve underwent surgery for the second time today. The procedure included repair to the broken bone and skin grafts to close the wound. The surgeon reported that all went as planned but no word is available on the final prognosis. He's expected to remain heavily medicated for some time yet and will require lots of rest to heal.

This occurred with a Yonkers radio and the cause was found by our Commo Lt to be a blown fuse. There are 3 fuses to check...

My condolences to Ricky's family, co-workers and friends...

Most definately!

Another issue is when those tin ceilings are found in occupancies with higher ceilings. Longer hooks may work for other ceiling finish materials but for tin ceilings over 10 feet it is difficult if not impossible to get the leverage needed to remove the tin. I remember a fire in the rear of a laundromat with extension into the void above. There was little visibility and ceilings well over 10 feet high. Companies were venting the roof---Remember, don't open up such a void without venting above or backdraft may occur!-- but inside crews were not able to make sufficiently quick progress pulling the ceiling while the engine crews were going after the seat of the fire. Fire quickly traveled through the space and resulted in the necessity of changing to an outside attack via Tower Ladder's stream. Beware of fire travel above cutting off your egress when you go deep into an occupancy to pull ceilings and especially tin ceilings since they take more time.

I'm not surprised that Ed caught this. He's one of the best! Maybe one of the members of this site can help find a relative of Officer Rodgers...
