Using hydraulic tools air bags and cribbing BFD firefighters extricated the man in approximately thirty minutes but then discovered that the patient had severe burns and was barely breathing. Working along side of paramedics on Medic 14-1 BFD FirefighterParamedics intubated the patient and established I.V. access before Lifeguard 10 arrived to transport by air. The patient was flown to Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital in critical condition. nbspDays after the incident we received word that the patient was removed from ICU and is expected to make a full recovery.nbspnbsppp
