The Boyd Street Incident Part 2

We're joined by LAFD Firefighter Paramedic Andrew Tom. Andrew was assigned to Rescue 9 with FF/PM Alex Saenz (Ep 49, The Boyd Street Incident) & was trapped in the building on Boyd Street during a BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion) that created a giant blowtorch in the building Andrew was working inside of with Engine 9. What's it like to have conditions turn pitch black in a fire & then hear what sounds like a freight train coming thru? To know you have one way out, & seconds to escape? What goes thru your mind when you don't escape? When your path is blocked? Andrew gives us the full details of every firefighter's nightmare, to be caught in flashover conditions. How did he get stuck? How did he finally escape? How did it feel to know he was alive? What was the scene outside? What happened next? It's a fascinating story from his perspective. He shares his real emotions and the PTSD that followed and how he dealt with it all. You will never forget this episode.
