Here is the small DC Fire Boat. The also had the Glen there and it used its flying stand pipe (???) to supply water to the bridge. Remember the last car of the train was supposed to be on fire.

OK, so the drill begins. The first thingwe do is harrass the operator via the intercom
"Whats going on?"
"Don't you know who I am??"
DCFD Photos, old or new - Guest - 10-18-2007
More of that
"The car is filling with smoke!"
"HEEEELLLLLLLPPPPP!!!"
DCFD Photos, old or new - Guest - 10-18-2007
The last car filled with smoke from a smoke generating machine.

The harrassed train man finally makes it back to us.
DCFD Photos, old or new - Guest - 10-18-2007
He removed all the able bodied to the front car disconnected what he had to but alas 1 guy had an MI and was sinking fast (guess who) and another had a broken ankle and could not move. His "wife" would not leave him.
I asked the train guy "am I gonna die" He said "YES"
He then said, "I have to separate the good from the bad" and he locked us in the train car!
Here I am. I'm coming Elizabeth!!!

The DCFD Medic (Tim) from E 16 got to me after a time. IMHO they should have had someone doing triage ahead of the medic to maximize his time,but oncehe got to me he was very good.
I learned the trick for taking nitrospray, got some fake aspirin. Got my BP and heart rate taken. Now for those who don't know (and why would you) I am pretty fuzzy. It was no fun removing those leads at all.
They then put me on a stokes and carried me out. and put me on this little cart.
One of the guys is leading a lind lady off the bridge.

A better look at the cart.
DCFD Photos, old or new - Guest - 10-18-2007
They pushed me off the bridge and caried me to the treatment area where I was a red tag.
DCFD Photos, old or new - Guest - 10-18-2007
Tim was with me to the end.
DCFD Photos, old or new - Guest - 10-18-2007
More. It was cold and the coat was appreciated.
