Making grabs!
In this VEIS evolution recruits working the alpha side bedroom successfully find and rescue their “victim”

VEIS. But what exactly do those four letters stand for?
VEIS stands for: Vent-Enter-Isolate-Search.
A rapid high-risk search and rescue technique where firefighters enter a building usually through a window to locate victims in specific rooms.
The crucial, updated “Isolate” step involves closing the door to the room immediately upon entry to stop fire spread, protect occupants, and create a tenable environment for firefighters.

The last couple shots of E2’s crew wrapping up a residential fire alarm call earlier this year.
This day over in the valley, there was super dense fog. Everything in the background was basically the same color, so I was really worried about how the photos would turn out. I’d say they came out pretty solid. What do you guys think?
