All,
3 Houston Firefighters have been hospitalized after suffering burns after operating at a fire in an apartment complex this morning.
Crews were called at about 0530 to the fire on Jarmese St.
About 5 minutes after Firefighters arrived, there was a mayday call from one of the crews.
During a search of the apartments, the Firefighters became trapped when a heavy door blocked their exit, prompting the mayday.
The Firefighters’ equipment, helmets, and airpacks all melted, and it was stated that the men were “very close to losing their lives.”
Firefighters pulled them out of the unit, and the Firefighters were transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital with significant burns.
The Firefighters all have varying degrees of burn injuries, primarily on their hands, legs, and neck area, Chief Thomas Muñoz said.
The good news is that the Firefighters, who were alert and oriented at the hospital, but will have a long road to recovery. KTIYP’s
