The evening of March 21, 2003 was normal for the crew of Colerain, Ohio Township’s Engine 26.
The guys were cleaning up after dinner. Then the dispatcher interrupted them with a call to a structure fire.
When they arrived on scene, the crew found a single-family residence with flames showing. Police said there might be someone trapped inside.
Lt. Steve Conn and a rookie partner made entry and began to search. Minutes later, Steve found himself in a world of trouble.
What happened next taught him a lot about dealing with mayday situations and their aftermath.
