All.
The first deceased was not found until 8:20 p.m. the next day, and the second at 9:50 p.m. Hansen and Johnson are described as experienced Firefighters.
Brannvesenet Midt-IKS, the agency of the deceased firefighters, has also been given suspect status in the case with possible violations of labor laws related to the workplace deaths.
During the investigation, an explosion and fire happened inside the home. One firefighter and one civilian were injured and described by the department as “stable” when taken to the hospital. The victim and the Firefighter have since been released.
According to the report, there were several engines that responded to the fire on July 28th on Maria Road. When a 4th engine truck arrived, an uncharged five-inch supply line that was on the ground became entangled in the engine’s wheels, unknown to the driver. There was no water in the hose.
The truck kept driving, and while Moreau was grabbing a breathing apparatus from a different truck, the hose pinned him against the truck. The report says:
Conn-OSHA found no violations, but did recommend the department establish a new standard operating procedure and establish training on situational awareness. At the time of his death, town and fire officials, justifiably called Moreau a true hero.
