1st Alarm: Engine Co. 5,6,3 , Ladder Co. 3, Battalion 2, Engine Co. 1 as Rapid Intevention Crew

2nd Alarm: Engine Co. 4, Tower Ladder 2, Deputy 2, Chief of Department, Fire Director

Special Call: Engine Co. 2

 

 

These are the conditions that companies were met with upon arrival.

Multiple reports of a woman trapped on the 2nd floor rear were given.

 

As Engine Co. 6, 5 and Ladder Co. 3 made a headlong attempt to make the stairwell to the 2nd Floor, Engine Co. 3 put a 16' roof ladder from Ladder Co. 3 to the 2nd floor rear(you can see the ladder to the left of photo). The officer of Engine Co. 3 vented, entered and searched the apartment without the protection of a hoseline and found a female victim and brought her to the window.

 

This is the window the rescue was made from. After getting the female victim to the window, members of Engine Co. 3 and Tower Ladder 2 assisted in the removal of the female victim. The officers of Engine Co. 3 and Tower Ladder 2 both received 2nd degree burns during this rescue attempt.

 

**After the victim was rescued, members of Tower Ladder 2 along with EMS immediately started CPR and transported the victim to the Bayonne Medical Center, where she was pronounced shortly thereafter.
