What a great example of training hard, training together, and training to save your own. This is a premier example of teamwork that every fire department should strive for. The crew of Rescue 16 did an outstanding job as well as every other crew that worked to save Lt. Polaski’s life. Just outstanding!
What an awesome save!! Nothing can stress the importance of training more than this. Great job Columbus Fire, not only in saving one of our own but also in creating and sharing this video. Special thanks to LT. Mike Polaski for allowing this video to be shared.
