So I made it to the third floor where
I was able to see the victims on the AD side.
Unfortunately there is nothing
I could do the the conditions
of the building were this
too much. At that point they
worsened and I had to escape.
2nd 2nd floor was engulfed in
flames and smoke and I was
barely able to escape in time.
I was. It was a very daunting experience.
But I mean, we did everything we could.
By the grace of God, we rescued who we could.
No firefighters died and we prevented massive
devastations in the South Park .
Yeah, so when I when I got up
to the third floor. And I spotted the
victims and I heard the screami.
That's when I noticed the condis
of the building start to change.
A lot of smoke, heat was
coming up to the third floor,
meaning that the fire was traveling up.
So at that point, I knew that
my life was in danger and I
had to jump on the ladder,
revert back to my training,
slide down, and thankfully Cote
was at the bottom of the castin.
So answer your question about emotions.
It's a roller coaster. As you can imagine,
a lot of questions in our heads.
It is a continual process. I dot
think you ever get to the end o.
So it's many different emotions.
You just make one. One statemen,
55 million. Miller, He lured your dads.
He got off on the third floor,
saw the victims and couldn't reach them.
They were on the 6th floor.
So he got on the third floor,
was able to look up and
see where they were because they
were not located on the third f.
All right, we'll make that distinction. Can
you tell me what was it? An ope?
So what he got off the ladder oo
was a we we would call it a pool deck,
third floor, open area,
common area for the future
residents to you know recreate,
swim in a pool, whatever.
And so he got off on the third floor and
that's where he was when when everything
changed on us and like Chief sa.
You know, the victims were
on the 6th floor, probably
50 to 50 feet up,
and probably another 100
feet away from them. So
Ladder 16. No, Sir,
I'm not to answer that.
Yeah, yes. So the 2nd floor
was engulfed in flames.
We had a ladder to the third fl,
so that smoke and that heat was
traveling upwards on the ladder.
There wasn't a lot of time to like to
go down and so I had to slide as fast
as possible and that speed I cod
have hit the bottom and hurt my.
So coast was down there near the first
floor on the ladder to catch me.
No, but it's just reverted backo
training and I was OK because of that.
