Peeoria Fire Engine 193 rolled up to a house fully engulfed in flames. Hearing reports that there were people trapped inside, firefighter Stephen Gunn climbed in through a blown-out window and began crawling through thick smoke and flames. Working intently, helmet melting and skin burning, Gunn was able to locate a victim and hand him over to his fire captain. This was the scene of an arson fire, resulting from a home invasion, but a crisis can come in any form. The Peoria Fire-Medical Department has to be ready for emergencies as diverse as a medical crisis interrupting a quiet evening at home, or a mountain rescue that requires ropes, or the use of a “big wheel” unit to wheel down an injured hiker.
