2017 Class D Certificate of Commendation -FF Rachel Marcic

On September 20, 2017, SFFD was dispatched to an unknown medical aid call, and minutes later, a different 911 caller reported a structure fire. Multiple SFFD units responded. At the scene, units saw flames from a 2-story building and the crew went to work. FF/PM Lane was approached by a teenager who said his parents were inside the home. As they advanced, FF Marcic heard “pops” and saw a live, arcing line come down. Marcic advised FF Posey about the line, who threw a bundle on top of the wire to abate the hazard. FF/PM Lane and FF Keller entered the home, Keller took the nozzle to perform fire suppression while Lane performed a search. Multiple rooms were searched, and both individuals needed assistance getting out of the building. Lane and Keller, with help from Lt. Mathews and PX/FF Gutierrez helped them carry the victims to the street. Both victims survived thanks to the coordinated efforts of FF/PM Lane and FF Steven Keller.
