3月23日 - 威尔米利万岛 - 在城市警察的帮助下,一名郊外的志愿消防员能够急剧营救一名被困在大街上燃烧的建筑物中的一名男子,星期一早上。

The man was transported via Life Star helicopter to Rhode Island Hospital after receiving significant burns.

Meanwhile, two other individuals were transported to Windham Community Memorial Hospital in Willimantic following the fire at 1163 Main St.

Willimantic Fire Department Chief Marc Scrivener said the call for the second- alarm fire came in at 8: 55 a. m.

” We had the water on the fire within a few minutes, but we called it under control at 9: 34,” he said.

“戏剧性救援”

Griswold Volunteer Fire Department Lt. Pete Dameron, who works for the Griswold Public Works Department, said he was heading to Willimantic Waste Paper Co. to empty a dumpster from the town of Griswold when he saw a male hanging out a window from upstairs in the building.

他说,他的消防员训练“踢进去”,他将自卸车靠在建筑物上,以便雄性可以跳入其中。

A University of Connecticut Fire Department ladder truck was used to get the man out of the dump truck.

“感觉很好,”达梅隆谈到他参与救援时说道。“我希望有人会为我或我的任何家人做到这一点。”

Windham Director of Development Matthew Vertefeuille, who is also the town’s public information officer, credited the early responders for rescuing the victim. “It was a very dramatic rescue,” he said.

Dameron coordinated the rescue with Willimantic police officers who were at the scene. “He had burns to both hands,” Dameron said. “It looked like he had inhaled some smoke too.”

威利马尼大西洋警察局说,协助达米 - 大西洋军官克里斯·谢泼德(Will-Mantic Shepard)的一名军官之一。医务人员的基思·埃德勒(Keith Edele)开始向烧伤受害者管理氧气,并给了他急救,直到消防员到达。他估计烧伤的受害者是30多岁,并说该男子的喉咙里有“沉重的烧伤”。

谢泼德说:“看来他的手臂骨折,因为他戴上了铸造。”他说,该男子在闲逛窗外时“在尖叫”。

Scrivener said Willimantic officers transported two individuals to WCMH.

他说,烧伤受害者是由哥伦比亚救护车送往温德姆医院的,从那里开始,他被一名生命之星直升机运送到罗德岛医院。

Scrivener said he called Griswold First Selectman Dana Bennett to express his gratitude. “We’re very grateful for his quick thinking and heroic action,” Scrivener said.

当地警察还被认为使人们离开燃烧的建筑物。

Shepard said he was the second person on scene, noting Willimantic Police Officer Nick Sullivan was first on scene.

达默隆说:“感谢上帝,警察在这里提供帮助。”

Shepard said Sullivan kicked a door in and rescued an 18-year-old male who was “lost” in the apartment.

他说:“我把他带到医院。

谢泼德说,警方还将一名66岁的男性运送到医院。

温德姆消防元帅迈克尔·拉卡塔(Michael Licata)今天早上说,他尚未确定火灾的原因,并指出他需要与建筑物的居民交谈。

He said the fire originated in a second-floor bedroom.

Many victims

There are two apartments in the building as well as a business, Marilyn’s Creations Salon & Spa. Marilyn Soto, who opened the salon in 2013, said she immediately headed to her business after one of her clients saw the fire and called her. “I’m very emotional,” she said.

Soto expressed concern about the situation, noting the business is her only source of income.

她说,业务可能被摧毁了,并指出建筑物内部有烟雾和水损坏。

索托(Soto)的客户Lisette Larson住在Valley Street附近,她说她看到烟雾从大楼里冒出来。

她对Soto表示同情,并指出这对她在大流行期间保持业务运转一直是一项挑战。“她努力工作,”拉森说。

几个不同的消防部门的互助援助回应了协助威利马西,包括UConn,Mansfield,Col-Bumbia,Scotland,South Windham,Windham Center和North Windham。

斯克里文说:“我们得到了邻居的很多帮助。”

Vertefeuille说,当梯子卡车靠在赫利大楼对面时,该电话传来了,上面有一扇窗户被风损坏。

Windham Human Services Director Angela Fournier responded to assist victims of the fire.

Scrivener said staff from Eversource Energy responded and the gas and power in the building were shut off.

在现场,Fournier照顾了一只居民拥有的一只小狗。斯克里文说,建筑物中有几只动物。
