This is the complete video showing how an 8-9 foot webbing loop can be used to rescue a Firefighter who has fallen through a hole in a floor or roof. For this technique to work, the integrity of the surrounding area must be strong enough to support the weight of the rescue attempt. Beyond the obvious, the trapped Firefighter must be as familiar with this tactic as the Rescue Team – Including the options and requirements for a rapid and successful deployment.

Watch for a fairly large explosion around 3:38. Truck 13 was dispatched to a reported brush fire at 2994 Burr at about 10:40am on 11-11-09, on arrival Truck 13 requested a full still for a working fire in a makeshift storage building loaded with oil, gasoline, acetylene tanks, and car parts. Multiple lines were stretched to bring the fire under control along with the use of a front end loader used to open the “building”. Nobody was injured at the fire scene and investigators were on scene working. Awesome job done by GFD, 1st turn
