SAM 117 | Interview with Shawnee Fire Battalion Chief Ryan Pyle – Part 2
Episode description
On May 22, 2010, John Glaser, a 33-year-old career fire fighter died while conducting a primary search of a residential house fire. Firefighter Glaser vomited in his SCBA face piece and then removed it, causing him to inhale products of combustion.
The fire was reported by automatic alarm at 8:55 p.m. Saturday at 13408 W. 75th Court, according to fire officials. When firefighters arrived, they found the home burning out of control. Neighbors told firefighters they thought two people and a dog were inside.
Firefighters began attacking the fire and searching the home.
As they were searching the home at 9:12 p.m., a mayday call went out because a firefighter was missing.
