When Capt. Kristen Sargent arrived at the Hemispheres Condominium in Hallandale Beach on Wednesday on Broward Fire Rescue Engine 60, she saw two construction workers dangling from the 23-story building about 70 feet off the ground.
It was up to the Broward Sheriff’s Office Fire Rescue Technical Rescue Team, whose members must complete 320 hours of training before even being allowed to apply for the elite squad, to figure a way to get the workers down safely.
工人的脚手架在建筑物上进行灰泥工作时部分崩溃了。第一响应者接到了有关不稳定情况的911个电话。
担任事件指挥官的萨金特说：“我主要关心的是与他们接触，并确保受害者我们将竭尽所能，使他们安全地降低他们，并试图使他们保持镇定。”
That wasn’t an easy task.
“They were definitely afraid,” Sargent said. “And uncomfortable. “
一名工人完全离开了脚手架，并用安全带悬挂在空中。他只能将手放在头顶上来紧紧抓住绳索。
另一名工人在部分倒塌的脚手架上，幸运的是能够将其重量放在设备上。
但这对两位工人来说都是可怕的情况。
The worker hanging from the rope was the top priority.
由于脚手架的倒塌和定位方式，技术救援队（TRT）无法使用其梯子卡车的桶，让工人爬上船，然后将他放到地面上。
TRT上尉布伦丹·布拉纳根（Brendan Branagan）说：“我们决定去屋顶，我们将进行高角度的屋顶救援。”
一旦TRT固定了绳索，它将救援人员降低到了第一名工人。然后，他们将工人放在绳索系统中，并卸下他的绳索。
但是，由于脚手架的绳索的定位方式，救援人员和工人都无法下降。
TRT确保了脚手架并创建了第二个绳索系统。
Branagan说：“第二个绳索系统基本上是为了涵盖倒塌的脚手架，然后将其拖回屋顶，因此我们然后控制了更多的脚手架的重量。”
那时，救援人员和工人被降低到地面。
凭借脚手架安全，消除了一个重大问题来拯救第二名工人。
“They were able to have victim No. 2 climb over the top of the scaffold and into the bucket, and that’s when that victim was removed to the ground via the ladder truck on the scene,” Branagan said.
There’s no typical rescue, Branagan said. But Wednesday’s effort was different for a unique reason – news helicopters covering the rescue made so much noise with their propellers the rescue workers had a hard time communicating with each other atop the building.
布拉纳根说：“实际上，我们不得不打电话给我们的空中救援并与其他直升机上网，并让他们稍微退缩。”“我以前从未经历过。那对我来说是第一个。很有意思。”
TRT专门研究五个学科：结构崩溃救援；高角度绳索救援；限制太空救援；挖掘和支撑救援；车辆机械和重型纠缠救援。
大多数时候，TRT为消防员提供了支持。如果消防员倒下，TRT将提供救援。
布拉纳根（Branagan）还是佛罗里达特遣部队2的成员，在夏季，他被部署到Surfside Condo倒塌20天。
“I would say the difference is on Wednesday we were able to walk out with live victim rescues, and in Surfside we were able to recover family members and bring closure to people,” Branagan said.
“They both bring good feelings, but it’s really nice to walk away from a call and have an actual live rescue.”
