Situation:
During a large 2 Alarm Fire at Cameron Run Terrace, E411, E409, E207, E405, TL405, T411, R411, M411, BC406, BC405, EMS 405, EMS 406 on the 1st alarm. E424, E437, T424 and others on the 2nd alarm. There is a confirmed report of fire on the 16th floor and the first alarm is on the floor battle the blaze and rescue any trapped civilians.
Just seconds ago a MayDay call came in from within the condominium complex. The MayDay call is a radio signal of a lost/down/disabled firefighter. The call triggers immediate and focused rescue effort by the Rapid Intervention Team (RIT).
You have been tasked as a member of the Rapid Intervention Team – a group of 4-6 firefighters standing by at all working incidents to perform rescue of fellow firefighters with minimal loss of time.
The call reported that two firefighters had been trapped on the 16th floor of the condominium due to a structural collapse of a ceiling that was made up primarily of heavy wooden beams. Both of them are pinned under a beam and have sustained injuries. Both are alive and able to communicate.
The area of the collapse was used as a storage area of furniture, so there are expected to be heavy objects that will need to be cleared out of the way.
Objective:
Deploy RIT to Locate – Extricate – and Evacuate down firefighters.
Time Line:
Conditions in the condominium are worsening due to continued fire damage. Smoke levels are rising, making it increasingly difficult to navigate.
RIT Rescue should be done as quickly as possible, to avoid any further incidents. It is not known exactly how long the building will be stable, but it is obvious that every second counts.
