2022 Class D Unit Citation - E43

On December 18, 2022, E43 was the first unit to arrive at the scene of a structure fire at 51 Santos street in the Sunnydale projects. Neighbors reported an occupant in the abandoned unit. E43 forced a fortified door, contained the fire, conducted a search of the smoke filled unit and performed the rescue before oncoming crews could assist on scene. Their initiative, composure, and teamwork kept the fire from advancing further resulting in the rescue of a potential victim.
