I interviewed Lieutenant Logan Ledkins with the Longview Fire Department — the operational commander on the 920-foot tower rescue in Gregg County, Texas.

This is the full, uncut interview where we walk through how the incident was managed, the challenges crews faced, and what it takes to execute a high-angle rescue at that scale.

This incident gained national attention, and there are real lessons here for firefighters and technical rescue teams across the country.
