Look Close
December 08th, 2006 Category: Inside Functions
Vincent Wolfe from Charlotte Ladder 1 sent some pictures of something interesting they found on a call. Look at this picture and check out the supplemental page for a full description of their find. –Jimm-
The master bedroom had a 6 ft by 6ft bookcase near the window on the division A side. They found a crib in between the window and the back of the bookcase. If this had been an active fire situation and at night how many of you would have realistically taught to look behind there during a primary search? Something to think about.
