Battalion Chief Tom Fitzgerald (Battalion 16), Lt. Rich Davan (Ladder 23) and Lt. Rob Brown (Squad 41) discuss operations where two separate roof rope rescues were performed and six trapped civilians were saved, including a five-year old girl who was lowered to the ground via the roof rope by Firefighter Abe Miller of Ladder 23.
