One woman jumped from a second-story window and threefirefighterswere injured Sunday afternoon after fire broke out in an upstairs apartment at S Keystone Ave. in Indianapolis, Indiana.

那个女人告诉消防员,当她醒来的玻璃和沉重的烟雾的声音时,她在楼上的公寓里睡着了。她的出口被封锁了,她被困在她的卧室里,所以她从她的第二层窗口跳起来,只能维持轻微的颠簸和瘀伤。她在现场检查了并签署了释放声明(SOR)。

来自Ladder 35的消防员发起了主要搜索,听到了来自火灾公寓的公寓。女性受害者54,无法撤离并屈服于帮助。火力强度迅速增长,重型黑烟填充了两个楼上公寓之间的共同开放的楼梯。

Making entry into Apartment #2, firefighters grabbed Sharon and started back downstairs. Shielding her face with their bodies they made their way across the landing and headed down the stairs. It was then that the fire flashed and enveloped the upstairs landing from front to back.

In the process the two firefighters sustained burn injuries to their neck, shoulders, and hands due to the intense heat. The woman, who remained shielded by the firefighters, was unharmed. A third firefighter from EG35 was headed up the stairs with the attack line at the time of the flashover. He sustained burn injuries to his neck and shoulders, as well.

三个firefighters injured in yesterday’s fire have all been released after care at the Eskenazi Burn Center. Originally thought to be possible steam burns, the firefighters burns were actually thermal and caused by the intense heat they faced as the fire blew out of the apartment and through the open landing. Burn patterns on their gear is consistent with the often deadly consequences that flashover conditions can produce during both rescue and attack operations. The fact that they nor the civilian were not severely injured is both a testament to their quick actions and a couple of good guardian angels.

攻击人员能够在10分钟内在控制下标记火灾。火灾,烟雾或水损坏了四个单位,八个居民流离失所。损害估计为400,000美元。
