In the photos, Mitchell captured pics of the Tower Ladder 170 roof team spotting a ground ladder for access to a flat roof to perform vertical ventilation. He also has photos of Tower Ladder 120, which was special called as the extra truck above the all hands. These firefighters were tasked with conducting secondary searches as the second floor is being ventilated, and well as with taking a door off its hinges as a means of egress for units.
