Firefighter Falls Down Floor During Fire Attack

Tuesday, July 14, 2009

While fighting fire second in a floor four-plex I fell down flight of stairs in heavy smoke conditions and tore the left cartilage from shoulder and fractured a bone in my shoulder. There was no railing around stairwell

Lessons Learned: Take more time to check out surroundings when operating in zero visibility condition especially on upper floors.
