Civilian Rescue: The Reason We Exist
City Fire Chief Ruben Brown Sr. said in a March 2 Facebook post that he witnessed firefighters “display extra ordinary courage and bravery” at the scene.
他还shared a photo of the helmetworn by Fire Captain Randy Ray Jr., showing how it melted atop his head during the rescue attempt.
“They pushed themselves through smoke, heat and fire. The bottom floor was fully engulfed upon arrival. But, this didn’t stop them. They proceeded to the top floor,” Brown wrote.
“Captain Ray, Relief Lieutenant (Tinesha) Titus and Firefighters (Artrell) Phillips and (Areial) Welton literally (were) on fire themselves in their efforts. The melted helmet of Fire Captain Randy Ray displays unseen heroic efforts.”
Ray was treated at the scene by Pafford EMS for injuries, city officials said. His condition was not released. The other firefighters escaped injury.
