Texas Firefighter Recalls Mistakes During Close Call

Fort Worth Fire Capt. Larry Manasco is quick to take responsibility for the mistakes he made during a call early last year in which he and six of his colleagues became trapped following a roof collapse.

He told attendees at Firehouse Expo in Baltimore this past weekend that the culture in the fire service is such that more people don't come forward to talk about their missteps following close calls.

"When something happens in our departments and it's not about us, we are all the biggest armchair quarterbacks and that's why more stories like mine don't get told," he said.

It was Jan. 29, 2010 and Engine 3 was dispatched to a structure fire at a one-story duplex at 2855 Avenue A.

Manasco said that that day, a series of events occurred at an otherwise ordinary structure that almost turned fatal for his crew.

"All these different dominos started to fall and we almost killed seven firefighters," he said. "It's the only time I thought I was going to die. I truly thought: 'This is it. I'm about to burn.' "

He woke up inside the station to the alarm and saw a fellow firefighter flying by him. At that moment he knew it was a fire and kicked it into gear.

The first -- and most vital mistake -- Manasco said he made that day was to push his responding button instead of verbally notifying dispatch of his response. He did this to cut down on radio traffic, but he would soon find out that his decision may have cost him his life.

He was on the Channel 2, which was the department's primary fire channel, but he later found out that since there were crews at a previous fire and traffic was sent to the secondary channel -- Channel 5.

Since the crews at the first fire were in the overhaul stage, Channel 2 was all but silent.

As Engine 3 approached the scene, he figured it was a false alarm because of the lack of radio chatter and even began to take off his air pack.

"Man was I wrong," he said. "When we turned the corner, it looked like the sun was coming up."

Another issue occurred when a caller told dispatch that there was a deaf man behind the house, but was misunderstood as saying there was a man trapped inside.

Manasco described the conversation over dispatch as the game of "telephone" that kids play. He said that he doesn't blame the dispatcher, who is also trained as a firefighter.

"She's tough. She can do it. She knows the job," he said. "That message just got tweaked a little and it made all the difference in the world.
