Strong work from Columbus (OH) Ladder 23! They had a fire at a “Vacant” structure… They searched the structure and found a 8 year old boy inside, who probably would have not made it if it wasn’t for their actions. Reports are the ladder was first on scene and kept the fire in check with a few water cans.

Well done Ladder 23!!!! It’s not about if we don’t search, who will?? It’s about making strong decisions based on staffing, conditions, building, etc….. No blind actions “just because”, but no blind tactical decisions on vacant structures “just because”!!!!
Strong work!!!!
Wish they had a video of what the fire conditions were upon arrival and an interview with the first in officer so he could explain his actions, there is clearly something to be learned about good decision making and that officer clearly made the right decision and i think most of us could learn something from it
