It was a very busy day tour for members of Fort Lauderdale (FL) Fire Rescue (FLFR) Engine Co. 3. By dinner, we had already made 11 runs, which included a car/bicycle collision and a structure fire. The remainder of the tour was also filled with the typical emergency medical service, automatic fire alarm, and public service runs with which so many of us are familiar. In the tour's early morning hours, the tones blared through the firehouse, dispatching us (a three-member engine company) and Rescue 3 (an ambulance unit staffed with two firefighters) for a Signal 4-a reported accident with possible entrapment. The dispatcher also reported that a box truck had purportedly hit a column and was hanging over the bridge.
