my dad was the off duty firefighter

as for the power lines...unless any of us were there we dont know how the comand dealt with this incident. normaly on a major incident like this paticularly this being a double circuit (top being an express feed and the under build is distribution), the comand for fd will request the line killed. the utility will send a crew(s) to open up the ckt.'s and place grounds on them. then notify the comand the circuit can be considered de-energized and grounded. again what the did here.only they know!

Our protocols say you never approach, touch, or attempt a rescue of a person near a down power line until the power company has arrived and guarranted the power off. You don't know just by looking at it. We do have a Tic Tracer to detect electricity... sub stations try to reset and thus send a burst of electricity to see if it trips again. You don't want to be around when that happens. I don't agree either with being on that aerial ladder so close to the power lines.

how is it obvious the lines were shut down?? you NEVER truly know if the lines are off unless you touch them or have a special reader.....even if the power company says they are shut off, you don't ever trust them until they test it for you
-
your not a firefighter are you? because its obvious the lines were shut down
-
well they had to it was so big hand lines won't put out. but they could of put it in a better place, very good rescue
-
wow, that looks kinda dumb.....who raises a ladder, RIGHT NEXT to the power lines and THEN sprays water over the top of them....I hope the lines were shut off...there were probably better ways to go about this
