Denver Firefighters Show Burned Fire Equipment After Rescue

Denver Firefighters Show Burned Fire Equipment After Rescue

Firefighters in Denver showed off how valuable their equipment is one week after a man was rescued from a burning apartment building. The flames shot from the apartment building at 1515 Grant Street on March 15 as firefighters rushed to rescue a man from inside.

"The velocity and the volume of fire that came out of that building that day, put an excess of probably 1,000 degrees more temperature on the surface of our firefighting gear," said Denver Fire Department Asst. Chief CJ Haberkorn.

Haberkorn said when it was safe to do so, the remaining two firefighters climbed down from the ladder.
