The Fire seen in the window is in-fact “Roll-Over” from the fire in the hall way. The Firefighter entered on to a BED pushed up against the window. The Firefighter recognized the signs and conditions as he is a Captain on a Truck Company with the Indianapolis Fire Department and is Very Well Trained in V.E.S (Vent, Enter, Search) CLOSE CALL,,,,,,YES!!!!! CORRECT CALL,,,,, ABSOLUTELY!!! VENT, ENTER, SEARCH! A victim had been reported in the structure, and was later found in that room (on the Floor next to the bed) out of reach of the Captain. |
