Yesterday morning Engine 33 responded on a first due box alarm for an apartment fire with a report of an occupant trapped on the balcony. Engine 33 arrived with one occupant confirmed on the balcony and stretched a long line for the top floor apartment kitchen fire. Engine 32 split crews stretching the backup line and removing the occupant.
Smoke detectors woke up the sleeping occupant, provided for early alert of the fire, and likely prevented loss of life and the building.

Over the course of two weeks, Chief Esposito and Lieutenant Weigle had the ability to attend a specialized rope access technical rescue course specifically for towers and cranes. The class was conducted by Med-Tex Services, Inc. instructors.
During the course of the class, students climbed, rigged, lowered, and descended simulated rescues from a variety of artificial elevated objects including a 300’ smokestack.
Now, that is some training!!!!
I'll pass. I like my feet on the ground.
Awesome
