Firefighter Charlie Morton, 39, squad boss on the Big Bear Interagency Hotshot Crew, died during interagency fire suppression activities on the El Dorado Fire.
A wildfire scorching its way through brush and timber from the mountains to the desert northeast of Los Angeles threatened more than 1,000 homes on Tuesday.
Response to cardiac arrests requires engineering controls, PPE, and a slightly different approach to provide increased awareness and safety, preventing further exposures.
At least one firefighter was injured when companies responded to this recent structure fire in Hempstead, New York. Photos courtesy of FirstOnScenePhotos.
