Helmet Cam Captures Dramatic Rescue During Apartment Fire
If you’ve ever wondered what it looked like from a firefighter’s perspective when they are fighting fires and rescuing people, now you know thanks to a helmet cam. We’ll take you to a dramatic rescue of a family in Michigan in below zero temperatures!
Firefighters near Grand Rapids, Michigan saved two adults, a child, and a cat from the third floor of a burning building on Tuesday, and one of their helmet cams got it on video. The fact that it was below zero with the wind chill made it more challenging.
Crews used a 35-foot ground ladder reaching up to the third-floor window to help get them all out. Parts of the building ended up collapsed, forcing crews to bring in an excavator to tear down sections of the structure and fully get the fire out.
