CASE # 3 Communication & Safety The pictures are from a smoke alarm call at 02:00 recently. Light smoke in a house no obvious fire found, no fire damage was found during the investigation. House was about 4,000 square feet, two story. Attic space on both ends of the house. One attic access had a one foot step down I sent one Firefighter to inspect it after I had to make sure I didn't miss anything. He stepped in before he realized there was step down and I didn't tell him about it. He stumbled and went through the drywall that was the ceiling below. Luckily the open garage door caught him. Tell your people about hazards no matter what. Light bulb moment.

This is a very dangerous situation. I'm glad that nobody got hurt in this accident. The firefighter is really lucky that the garage door caught his fall. If it was any moment later, it could've led to a nasty concussion or some very serious damage to his body. You have to carefully remake your home and make sure that it's sturdier than before.
