Medal of Merit with Rob Medrano

LAFD Engineer Rob Medrano was the 3rd engineer to arrive at a fully involved, single family dwelling structure fire in south central LA. Entering the backyard to do some exterior fireground work, he discovers almost all of the occupants of the house in the backyard, barely escaping the flames. Then one resident tells him they're missing 2 people inside. Without hesitation, Rob enters the house alone, with no air bottle or mask, & locates 2 trapped victims inside. He makes 2 more entries, ALL without an air bottle into a fully involved house fire, & rescues a woman & performs CPR in the backyard. We hear this incredible story in full detail as well as Rob's hospitalization for smoke inhalation, & how this led to him receiving the LAFD Medal of Merit for his bravery. We also learn some more young firefighter Danny stories, the importance of working at busy stations, life as a firefighter in South Central LA, & a detailed breakdown of LAFD structure fire operations. Take a deep breath for this one.
