Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department responds to an Industrial Accident with one person trapped

[@mstrick6257]

WOW! That leg was definitely broken! Now that I got that out of the way, thanks for the explanation of why certain teams responded. Perhaps the PR department could do a series on this.

[@thejfrd2490]

I will suggest it

[@tincans87]

Thumbs up to Special Ops team, cribbing & air bags was well thought out on a difficult rescue. Good work JFRD.

[@thejfrd2490]

Training and Great leadership!

[@donnamitchell7707]

You all did a fantastic job rescuing that fella. I hope he recovers quickly. Have a great day my friends, and stay safe ❤️🙂⚘️🚒.

I want to say, all you firefighters are the real true HEROES of emergencies and I Thank You All For Your Great Service! 😅

[@michellerobinson1318]

JFRD has great leadership and it shows, great job

[@thejfrd2490]

We sure do...this chief is one of our best!

[@Laxy974]

That was so impressively fast! Great work boys!

[@thejfrd2490]

A lot of tension in all that.

[@shockingguy]

Also wanted to comment love your coverage and that you can share stuff with the community about emergency situations and teamwork. It’s so important to document this stuff nowadays and share it.

[@thejfrd2490]

It is also training for us!

[@suzylarry1]

Every rescue is a learning experience. great that they are documented so the other team members can see at the fire house during training and ask questions

[@thejfrd2490]

Sure is!

[@miriam23774]

I enjoy watching JFRD they work so well together. The briefing after is get to see. Thanks for all your hard work. God Bless 🇺🇸

Great job! Everyone knew exactly what to do! How much pain he must have been in. Poor guy! Heal quickly.

[@thejfrd2490]

Training sure helps.

[@shockingguy]

Such a terrible way to store those bar joists, the slightest bump in those things can fall over like probably what happened here, very poor safety practice, no guards to keep those things from tipping over. I hope they implement some better practices and storage solutions.

[@thejfrd2490]

Thanks...but that really is not the purpose of these videos

[@dahinsoncoj]

What exactly is the purpose then? We've had this conversation before. So answer me this, are these videos sanctioned by both the JFRD and COJ Office of General Counsel, and if so your Name, Rank & Assignment if you are employed by JFRD. Do not worry, I will not fire off a letter to Julia Street, but will request this information by way of FOIA. Also, remember per JFRD R & R, and more importantly COJ Civil Service Rules you are required to provide this information when requested; its not optional.

Good job, JFRD. Tricky work with a potentially shifting load like that.

[@madmaninoregon]

Wow must be nice having 23 people on a scene like this. We're lucky to get 3 for the same job in our fire district.

[@thejfrd2490]

We are a large department...nearly 1900 members...but we are blessed that our mayor and city council believe in public safety...I would bet there were well more that 23 on scene.

[@shockingguy]

I’ve seen a few industrial accidents, the worst was a rollformer, The guy was walking by and it was an unguarded rollformer, he tripped, the machine was running. He had gloves on his hand, landed on the roll former and was pulled in between the rollers, crushing his fingers right up to the hand. Basically, I held his arm in the air above his head until rescue arrived, sadly, he waited at the local, small hospital. This was back in the 70s. I think late 70s and he waited at that hospital for eight freaking hours before they did anything, I told his family to get him to a better hospital, he lost most of his digits they might’ve been able to save some more of thejoints of the fingers if he would’ve gotten to a serious trauma center immediately, always always get to the best freaking hospital you can it’s worth it, take it from someone who’s got over 300 stitches, I hope this man survives this trauma

[@thejfrd2490]

We have seen the gamut as well, from not too bad to horrific death...you can be assured this patient was taken to the best trauma center available.

[@anitaevers3798]

I love this feed . Show lots of details about process. But is it possible at the end to give status of patient. Not details. Just general such as patient in stable vondition or in some cases patient did not survive . Kinda leaves us hanging after being so invested in the process .

[@thejfrd2490]

Many times we really don't know ourselves.

[@ritirons2726]

So here’s a few questions: Why was the apparatus staged so far away? That seemed like a lot of unnecessary work to carry the cribbing that far. I realize it doesn’t (and at times shouldn’t) be closer to the scene but that seemed excessive, especially when each person was only carrying a few pieces at a time, necessitating multiple trips. Why not use the over head trolley hoist(s) to raise the load? Using the typical lifting slings the entire load could have been raised in one motion. It only needs to be moved a few inches to release the victim’s leg. All the same precautions such as cribbing the load could have been taken. Were the air bags used? The lines and controller is seen but it seemed they weren’t used.

[@thejfrd2490]

The distance the apparatus was is insignificant to the outcome of this rescue if we are being honest, never brought up by anyone on scene... As for the overhead trolley...we do not use machinery like that to do our work, especially something that is not ours...the way we did it, we control the situation much better...furthermore, the leg was pinned, we needed to spread the joists apart to free the leg...lifting the joists would have crushed the leg more or severed it. The airbags were a secondary device, a backup if you will, should the spreaders have not worked...multiple plans working simultaneously to assure a rapid removal.
