Vermont Incident (LAFD)

5/30/15: *Confined Space Rescue*, 152 N Vermont Ave, (Virgil Middle School - Koreatown), female victim became trapped in an approximately 2'x2' chimney vent in a 3 story school building. The victim apparently entered from the roof level and was trapped for 3 hours, falling approximately 25 feet. (Bottom of drop bag in first photo indicates her approximate location.) Rescuers from Heavy Rescue 56, USAR 27 and USAR 88 along with first alarm units implemented a rescue plan involving use of a "capture strap" off Truck 11's aerial. Able to comply with rescuer's commands, the victim assisted in her rescue by appropriately affixing the strap lowered to her. The rescue was completed within approximately 90 mins.
