Smells & Bells

Slow week, so I thought I would throw out some pictures of some previous incidents
Taking a moment to reflect after an aggressive interior stop at this job on Old Hebron Rd. I was sitting in the nozzle seat on the 1st due engine for this fire. We tapped the hydrant directly across the street and stretched a dry line in the front door while our Captain performed a rapid primary search. Unfortunatly, I forgot to flake the line out properly before making the push and little to my knowledge left a huge knot in the hose right outside the door. You can see the level where smoke and fire banked down on top of us as we tried to figure out why we had no water. We eventually figured it out and made the push (note the holes in the sheetrock from the smooth bore).


Capt. Brown and FF. Albert keep their skills sharp on this 'well drilling' truck rollover with driver pinned. This was a delicate tool job with the driver pinned beneath tons of steel in a very unconventional vehicle.
Just a car fire with fuel tank rupture

This is what happens when you role the dice with LPG. This call generated national media attention for several days with supporting agencies assisting CHFD (FBI, ATF, etc.)
