Great job by everyone who was there!

That's me walking with the chief. New Hamburg had that fire knocked down unbelievably fast, and the teamwork between EMS, FD, and PD enabled us to treat a badly burned victim efficiently. It really was an outstanding job in all facets of the operation. Good job everyone.

The fact that this fire happened at 3pm and a victim had to be pulled from it should be a reminder to all of us that house fires don't just have occupants at 3AM.

Out of curiosity, where in the home was this victim located?

Thanks, and good work New Hamburg FD!

For those that Don't know the women pulled from the fire was the Mother-in-law of a Highland Fire Department member and also a dear friend. I just spoke to him and he stated that she had succumbed to her burns. My heart goes out to him and his family.

may mom-in-law rest in peace it was a great effort guys you gave her a chance,we are all proud of you.

i bet you guys got in quickly and the reason I say this is because looking at the pics it looks like everyone WAS geared up properly - great job

[Oswegowind 17]

Wow, sorry to hear that. My sincerest condolences to you and yours.

Has a cause been determined? I ask because the main body looked to be in a room with a fireplace. I have a zero clearance propane fed fireplace in my living room, love it, but it actually scares me cause the mantle gets hot, so we don't use it for more than an hour at a time. As well, recently in my area there was a fire caused by embers landing on a wood floor. Thanks for any input.

Thanks for the well wishes. To the Fire Fighters that rescue her from the house, You did a great job and give the family some time to spend with her (2 sons , daughter and several grand children)before she pass. Plus all the care that she recieved from the EMS members . I'm very thank full to them all. Keep up the great work , God Bless amd Be safe.
