2018 Class D Unit Citation - T14

On August 31, 2018, members of T14 were dispatched to an apartment building and encountered heavy smoke and fire. Lt. Wong prioritized the rescue of two people on the third floor, one was an SFPD Officer who had a child with him, and the other an elderly woman. He ordered both 35’ ladders get thrown, one to each window, for immediate rescue of both people. The Police Officer and child were able to exit via the interior stairs and transported to the hospital. The woman had to be assisted to the window for a ladder rescue/removal. The entire crew, led by Lt. Wong, performed in the utmost professional manner and managed two rescues in 1 minute and 15 seconds during heavy fire conditions.
