LT Aaron Kowal

8A

4-plex with fire upon arrival

Zero viz, clutter

Oriented Search, Capt with TIC

Felt table/chair legs then kid

9 year old kid, agonal breaths, 80 lbs

Dirty drag, let Capt handle radio

Took kid 1/3 mile to EMS, then went back in to finish search

Occupy space

Time is more important than absolute thoroughness

TIC didn’t pick up victim because victim was behind a glass table turned over.

1 min arrival to door

2 min door to victim out
