Mayday Training Files
June 17, 2011
On June17, 2011 the Flower Mound Fire Department along with several mutual aid companies responded to a residential structure fire. During the incident, Captain Wright and Firefighter Trujillo became overrun by fire on the second floor. The rapidly increasing fire disorientated them and they became lost in the fire room. After the Mayday was called, Firefighter Trujillo located two small windows on the wall opposite of where the fire had broken through the wall. Both men made a narrow escape seconds before the room flashed. The Flower Mound Fire Department is in the process of delivering a training session detailing the incident in the hopes that future incidents similar to this one can be handled with more informed Firefighters.
This is a radio show that tells the complete story. Many thanks to Fire Engineering and Bill Greenwood from FETC Services for allowing me the air time to speak my mind.
