* Grabs 148 Bowling Green, KY (1/26/2022)
* Jeffrey Bryant speaks with Corey Mahaney about a grab made on January 26th, 2022
* Some takeaways that I have are, I wish I would have flipped him over on his back. Because I was so close to the door and he was just laying on trash I drug him out face first. When we got off the truck we had a bystander in the yard saying that the victim ran back inside to look for his cat. We knew his last known location and did a targeted search based off our information. I remember there was thick black smoke pushing out of the front door and it was banked down to within a couple feet of the floor. Once I got right inside the door I could see his feet and knew he was face down. Quick mask up time is one thing that I think made this a quick grab. I was masking up as I was walking across the yard and when I got to the front door I was ready to go in. After the victim was out in the yard I opened his mouth and it has just a coating of black soot inside. Other firemen on scene took over patient care then the Patient was transported to a burn center. He is still alive as far as I know. After this me and my captain did VES to other rooms. The first victim was the only person located. The first room we tried to do VES through a window and stuff was stacked from the floor to ceiling we couldn’t make entry. The 2nd window I was able to climb in, while my captain stayed out with the tic. I was climbing on trash and I will never forget it was clear as could be in the room and before I got the whole room searched I had fire on top of the ceiling just rolling toward the flow path the broken window made. I know this is not part of the grab but it was the only experience I have had on the fire ground like this.
