Missouri firefighters detail mayday rescue

A Grandview firefighter used an 8-foot hooked pole to pull a trapped colleague to safety this week.

He issued a “mayday” call, firefighter language for “man down.” The rescue was part of the drama associated with the fast-moving Grandview fire on Monday morning that killed one person, displaced eight and left the trapped firefighter with second-degree burns.

The fire on the northbound side of exit 15W in Kearny sent thick black smoke into the air that was visible from New York City as firefighters worked to douse the flames that raged around the charred carcass of the truck.
