Firefighter closecall while wearing helmet cam

FROM YOUTUBE:
While inside doing a search of a workinf house fire the roof collapsed on my partner and I. My partner was quickly able to get into the kitchen and out of harms way. I was still tangled in debris and unable to follow him into the kitchen. Once I was able to free myself from the debris i was still unable to make it to the kitchen do to the fire load and more falling debris. My partner advised that he could make it to the steps and that he had made it to the hallway and was able to get out. I had to exit a window on side charlie via a ladder that had just been placed in service by the truck driver. All Firefighters were able to exit the house without major injury.

Comment by Charlie Lee on August 9, 2010 at 12:24pm: Intense! Now that's why we throw a ladder :) The outside sound is muffled, but your comms and the video are very clear up until about 7 min. When I've brought my new helmet cam into a fire, the lens got very foggy/steamed kind of like yours at about 7 minutes in.
