Multiple neighbors shooting video yesterday afternoon as a woman was brought out through a window of a Citrus Heights, California (Sacramento County) apartment, apparently in cardiac arrest and suffering from burns. At least word she was in critical condition.
Mirna Alfonso, Citrus Heights Patch:
A resident suffered burns, two families were displaced and a cat and dog died in a blaze at a Citrus Heights apartment building.
The fire was reported about 2:30 p.m. in the 5800 block of Sunrise Vista Drive, according to Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District Capt. Kim Fong.
They found one person in the apartment, got the victim out through a bedroom window and medics transported the resident to a burn center, Fong said.
When crews arrived on scene, a firefighter broke a bedroom window of the unit on fire, entered the unit and rescued the woman trapped inside. Fong said the woman was transported to a burn unit with critical injuries.
A cat and a dog died in the fire.

Just wondered where EMS was? I see the gurny with the supplies but I see not EMS in sight. Why are they not stagging with equipment?
I’m guessing that the EMS crew was some of the guys in the fireman outfits, judging by how seamlessly they went from doing fireman stuff to working the code.
That is the way you do your JOB!!!!!!!!!!!
Great work, Brothers, well done!
Looks like a great save… Now where the hell is the EMS crew?!!!
Super job, I hope that she makes it the ffs did their job. Adam I was wondering that myself where was EMS.
CPR is hard work anytime. Can’t imagine it in full PPE. Good work!
Must be some DC style EMS response.
Assuming — and I know it isn’t clear — that the EMS personnel were firefighting, then this video makes the case for EMS personnel sticking with their EMS functions on the fireground. Aside from injured civilians, there’s always the possibility of an injured firefighting. Assigning EMS to search and rescue, fire attack, and ventilation. What’s the sense in dispatching an EMS unit to a fire if it isn’t going to be properly staffed when it gets there?
Strong work fella’s
