On the evening of 12/5/09, New Castle County (DE) fire dispatch toned out a half dozen county stations for a house fire with reported entrapment and a police officer down.
First units arrived to find heavy fire conditions and a report of 4 people still inside. One of the first to be rescued was a badly injured child, who was handed over to county paramedics for the trip to AI duPont Children's Hospital.
The 5 year old boy was pronounced dead at the hospital.
It was the second major blaze for these firefighters within 3 hours, and despite the cold, snowy conditions, firefighters controlled the fire quickly.
These are photos of the mop-up, and the men and women who served at this job.

I inclination not approve on it. I think precise post. Expressly the title-deed attracted me to be familiar with the whole story.
