Randolph NJ – Firefighter Allen Bell from Dover Fire Dept. in New Jersey captured this CLOSE CALL video of a firefighter who had to bail out of a 2nd floor window while conducting a search for a missing resident. As conditions worsened, the firefighter made it to a 2nd floor window and called out for a ladder. This put firefighter Bells RIT team into action by grabbing the nearest extension ladder to assist the firefighter. This video shows the firefighter falling from the window to the ground and other firefighters carrying him to the front of the house. This video should be used as a training tool. There are several training classes and videos offered that show proper technique in “ladder bail outs”. You and your dept. should learn these techniques so this does not happen to you. His injuries were minor, but he could have suffered worse injuries. Also, the FC3 Fire Helmet Camera (www.FireVideo.net) was used in the video and shows that this camera can be another “tool for the helmet”, and if used properly, can assist in training, review and investigation. Below is the story from the Randolph News.
RANDOLPH — A stubborn fire swept through a two-story house this morning, killing a woman and injuring a township firefighter, authorities said.
Norma Miller, 84, lived in the wood-frame house on Carrell Road with two of her sons, both of whom were able to escape from the house unhurt, firefighters said.
One firefighter, whose name was not released, was injured when he fell out of a second-story window. He was caught by fellow firefighters and taken to Morristown Memorial Hospital. He was not seriously hurt, Randolph Fire Chief William Wagner said.
The blaze began about 11:30 a.m. in a first-floor bedroom, and flames spread through the ceiling, according to Wagner and the Morris County Prosecutors Office. The brothers were on the first floor when the fire began, and their mother was upstairs and unable to get out of the house, said Capt. Jeffrey Paul, a spokesman for Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi.
Smoke billowed out of the house and could be seen hundreds of yards down the road.
At first, I thought it was fog, said Emerson Crooks, a neighbor. Then, I opened the door and smelled smoke.
Firefighters from a half dozen municipalities responded to the scene and pumped water into the second floor of the home for more than three hours trying to put out what was described as a stubborn blaze.
This is the longest burn Ive seen in 15 years, said Randolph police Lt. Chris Giuliani.
Wagner said firefighters had to use flame-retardant foam from the Brookside Fire Department in Mendham to put out the blaze.
We could not get the water to stick long enough to the wood, the fire chief said late this evening. If it werent for Brookside, wed still be battling the fire.
The cause of the blaze has not yet been determined, and is being investigated by the Morris County Prosecutors Offices Arson Unit along with Randolph police, the Morris County Sheriffs Office Criminal Investigations Section and the Newark Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Miller, who was the mother of a third son, Star-Ledger news and wire editor Jim Miller of Montgomery, was remembered as a generous and friendly neighbor.
She was a nice lady, Crooks said. She was always outside, cleaning and fixing up things. Its a real shame.
Wagner, the fire chief, is a parishioner at the same church Miller attended — the Mount Freedom Presbyterian Church. She was a real nice lady, Wagner said, adding that Miller sang in the church choir.
Wagner said he called the pastor, Linda Gaden, to inform her that one of her parishioners had died.
This was the first fire fatality in Randolph in more than 20 years, the fire chief said. The family dog also died in the fire, officials said.

Kids often hide when they’re faced with danger, in a fire this can be life threatening.
Ever seen a firefighter in full gear? It can be pretty intimidating for us adults… even more so for young children.
