Training at the airport. While I hope that we never have to respond to a burning plane, the equipment is fun to use.

On a construction site at a local university, a hot water main burst causing several injuries.

After a residential 1 alarm fire. You would think people would learn not to leave food on the stove.

Southern boarder of a wild-land fire threatening traffic on the freeway

Our state trooper closes down the freeway

One of the most mangled vehicles in my career.

blessedg 🇺🇸 2012-03-03 02:33
A person pulled over on the freeway, and in the process of exiting their vehicle, they were struck by another vehicle passing by.

This was a training call, I know the spider straps are missing, so don't yell at me. I will pass the word on though to the two caring for the "patient".

When we first got this call, our dispatch made it sound like two commuter trains had collided and derailed. We had Hazmat, special ops, heavy rescue, utility, and 5 ambulance crews assigned. All that was really needed was the engine crew, and a couple people from uni0n pacific.

The area that I work in is great for many reasons, one of which is the diversity of calls. This is a mountain rescue from an injured back-country skier.

More training at the airport.

This work such saturated!

blessedg 🇺🇸 2012-03-04 01:35
This is one of the air-rescue agencies that we deal with. Life-flight is affiliated with the IHC hospitals. They do a wonderful job.

blessedg 🇺🇸 2012-03-04 01:40
A rollover accident was never so beautiful!

blessedg 🇺🇸 2012-03-04 01:42
HAZMAT training is always fun. Maybe later I will put up some pictures showing what we do to the suits after we are done.

blessedg 🇺🇸 2012-03-04 01:44
The orange boots are my favorite.

This picture, and the next three are from an earthquake drill that was held at a local university.

The next couple of pictures are of the Red Butte canyon fire that happened this last year. I don't think I have ever been so exhausted as I was during this fire.

blessedg 🇺🇸 2012-03-04 01:55
Again, another plug for the diversity of calls! This actually wasn't a swift water rescue, but it came close!

blessedg 🇺🇸 2012-03-04 01:58
A 4-alarm fire at a warehouse fairly close to our station 2. This building was divided into two sections. Someone was squatting in one of the sections and started the fire. Luckily we were actually able to save the other half of this building! The pictures all look pretty defensive though, don't they?

blessedg 🇺🇸 2012-03-04 01:59
This has got to be one of my favorites. The angle on this shot is awesome.

blessedg 🇺🇸 2012-03-04 02:01
Truck 8 hitting the flames from above.

blessedg 🇺🇸 2012-03-04 02:03
Junkyard fire! There is so much to burn here, the flames were quite intense.

blessedg 🇺🇸 2012-03-04 02:07
John coming out of the most recent house-fire. The ash sure makes him look like a hero.

blessedg 🇺🇸 2012-04-11 17:30
MCI training at the local military base. These guys know how to make it realistic.

blessedg 🇺🇸 2012-04-11 17:29
Doing some high-angle rescue training!
