Great job by the crews, but out of respect to the victim and his family, probably not appropriate to publish.... Just my 2 cents.

Face was blurred out. I think it is a borderline call, BUT, as I said, face was blurred out, and really nothing that was readily identifiable for a victim.


I have mixed opinions about showing victims, but I think this is a GREAT video to share the positive side, the bread and butter structural firefighting operations.

Videos like this give people a better appreciation for the men and women who put their own lives at risk just to save others. God bless the firefighters, victim, and his family.

My only argument with it isn't that it shows a patient, but that it shows something that the public can't see - the inside of the house. I believe there have been issues with this sort of thing in the past (such as COPS filming inside a private area where there was a legal reasonable expectation of privacy; I think one lawsuit likened it to a search, unlawful under the 4th Amendment.)
