Rolling Em’ in Vegas…..Rescue 1

December 28, 2007

Okay. I know this is “Drama 911” and not the “lost and found” as one guy put it. But the backboard post was just at the start of my day. Thank you for posting your comment Mr. Hot head. You seem to be living up to your name there my brother. Yesterday in Las Vegas was a strange day. It was my rotation to work on the Rescue. We had a couple of things occur that are worth mentioning (unlike a missing Hesperia backboard).

Rescue 1 LVFD First of all, we had some people sitting on a bench at a bus stop and a trailer came loose from a truck and slammed into them while they were waiting for the metro transit. One poor guy had both of his legs practically chopped off at the knees. It was a crazy scene to arrive and see him in that condition. I felt so sorry for him and the others. Needless to say, that I didn’t have much time for picture taking at the scene. But you can check out the news footage here.

Later that day we were called out for a person who had jumped from The Fitzgerald. It was a pretty messy scene. I won’t get into any details, but I did manage to take a picture. May God rest his Soul.

All in all it was one of the busiest rescue shifts I’ve had in a while. Also included an early morning apt. fire, we were primary search.

The 2 previous calls, a code, a homicide ( both on the “WEST SIDE” ), 2 breathers and a hand full of your normal B.S. and incontinent drunks. Tell you what, I’m ready for that Engineer’s test.
Happy New Year folks……I’m taking 4 days off.
