Sunday, February 7, 2010

- Late last night, Columbus Firefighters were operating at a basement fire in a dwelling on the city’s northeast side, when a CFD Lieutenant in the basement collapsed. Firefighters immediately removed the fire officer from the basement and initiated life-saving measures at the scene and was taken to Riverside Methodist Hospital, where he is in critical, but stable condition.

The 60-year-old Lieutenant from Station 16, is a 35-year veteran of the department who suffered cardiac arrest at the fire scene. The Lieutenant’s station was first on the scene of the fire and he was supervising a crew in the basement of the dwelling. One of the members operating at the fire turned around and saw that the Lieutenant had collapsed.

We in the CFD Family are very lucky, this was a close call and luckly we had members in the right place at the right time to assist a fellow brother in a time of distress. The posistive outcome of his condition is due to well trained FF's/Medics on scene and the proper manpower in place to assist.

 

Please keep him and the Family in your thoughts and prayers.

 

Thank You
