I shake my head at the radio traffic. Firemen were gonna be firemen. No stopping that. "Go for it, Ladder 1. Interior's ready."

I. Boorne Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 "Go for it, Ladder 1.

D. Valentine Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 'Lets Go Dave Off the Roof we've done all we can do lets go get some ladders thrown' *sounds good man *breath*' whatcha think started this fire?' * i ask as we move to climb back down the ladder,once again letting the now killed Saw ret across my shoulder behind boorne,i glance at my bottles gauge ive to my suprise killed nearly a half a tank tho admittedly its between half and a 3/4ths full which tells me im either slacking in my workouts or worked harder just now then i realized no matter as ive got plenty to throw ground ladders but with the smoke comming outta my vent holes i might not even need to go on the tank* Firefighter/EMT Dave Valentine Engine 1 Shiloh County Fire Department Badge 1319 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I. Boorne Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 ' whatcha think started this fire?' *Breath* 'Not a clue that's up to the FMO' *Breathe * *Stepping on the ladder i start to climb down and when i get out of the smoke i unclip my regulator and turn off the air flow, Getting to the bottom i take helmet off and slide my hood back, Taking my mask off i clip it back to my regulator and throw it across my back again* *Grabbing my helmet i turn as Dave Reaches the Bottom* 'Get a 24' Extension ready i'm going to see where cook wants it' Firefighter Paramedic Ian Boorne Ladder 1 Shiloh County Fire Department Badge 2050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Valentine Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 * i unclip aswell when im roughly half way down the stick taking a second to secure my tank before i set the saw down on the truck safely outta the way but near enough should for whatever reason it be needed again its in easy reach i can stow it later when we go to move,in the same set of steps i move around to where we have our ground ladders and get that set as i undo ,y coat and shift my airpack so everything's more comfortable glancing up at the building a moment before moving to grab a bottled water ,which i opt to chug nearly emptying it in the process if only cause its hot in turnouts waiting for just where im putting the ladder which ii had set on the ground i so i could drink* Firefighter/EMT Dave Valentine Engine 1 Shiloh County Fire Department Badge 1319 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Noel Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share Posted October 7, 2023 As the venting gets really underway, I feel the cool air coming into the building on high. "Alright, a little more heat over here. Let's pull." I say, poking at the wall and seeing smoke pour out. Might just be a vent, could be fire. Only way to find out is really dig. Pulling some more, I see nothing of concern there.

I. Boorne Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 *Climbing down off the turn table, I walk around the back of the truck and pull out a 24' Extension ladder and bring it around to where engine 5 is operating and extend it placing it just below the sill* Firefighter Paramedic Ian Boorne Ladder 1 Shiloh County Fire Department Badge 2050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Noel Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share Posted October 7, 2023 As Clark starts opening windows and clearing some of the smoke, I do a once over with the TIC again to make sure I didn't miss anything. All looks in order so far. "Noel, we've got everything under control on our side as well. What's yours looking like on the TIC?" "Nothing visible here now. I think we're good to start to vent and clean up." I pause on the radio, and then radio command. "Command, E1 Sector, we've got a loss stop in our unit, just venting it out now.

I. Boorne Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 *Hearing traffic about the fire being under control i retract the ground ladder and bring it around out front and slide it into the ladder tray in the trailer of the tiller, Taking my pack off i put it back in the cab and grab a bottle of water and take a sip walking up to valentine* 'Good Work up there dave, Just next time don't forget your helmet bud' Firefighter Paramedic Ian Boorne Ladder 1 Shiloh County Fire Department Badge 2050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Noel Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 With overhaul of this apartment mostly clear, we start packing up and head out into the hallway, back to the staging area where things have already started to wind down. I head over to the hose for my ceremonial rinse off before shedding my layers and cracking open a water bottle. "Looks like one more in the books."

L. Cook Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Hearing the orders from Stone that we can clear I help my crew finish packing up and then get back into the officer's seat in the truck. While the others get back into their spots I mark us clear from the scene as Valentine drives us away.
