One of the latest things in firefighting tools is a camera. Many fire departments allow their crews to wear helmet cameras- small “lipstick” cams to record their efforts. Far from being a way to re-live the thrill, these cameras are often invaluable aids in reconstructing fire-rescue efforts for training. Watch the companies from Dover, New Jersey fight this house fire. A woman in her 80′s perished. Her two sons got out okay. And one firefighter is slightly injured in a fall as he bails out from the burning upper floor, where flames have chased him to the window.
Here in the dead of winter…. this video should be a reminder of what fire-ems-rescue-and law enforcement folks do for us every day.
