It is unusual to find a Collapse Support Unit on a fireground.
One of Rescue Squad 3’s collateral duties is to respond with the squad wagon and two other support vehicles when it runs structural collapses. They had returned from a frame church that collapsed totally at 43rd St. and Sheriff Rd. NE and were responding to roof collapse at 12th and Florida Ave. NW when they came across a house fire in the 1300 block of T St. SE.

Occasionally (February 10, 2010), units would be enveloped in snow for a few seconds. Here, the Safety Officer confers with Battalion 6 during a brief white-out, 9th and K St. NW.
Great shots, looks like it is a mess up there to say the least. I especially like the ice on the roto-ray, nice sort of artistic shot.
Great shots! Hope you guys get unburied soon!
