On Monday the BFD was dispatched to North Taylor Street to assist on a medical call.  The BVAC and BPD needed assistance to remove an injured man off of his roof.  Apparently he had climbed on to the lower roof of his house and brought up an extension ladder to reach the gutters on the upper roof of the house.  While attempting to remove leaves from the gutter he fell on to the lower roof, suffering a compound fracture of his ankle.  The patient was packaged by the BVAC crew, and placed on a backboard.  FD and PD members assisted in putting him into a Stokes basket, and after tying a safety line off to the basket, lowered him down a ladder to the ground.  

 Great job by Lt. Jim Kirsch and his crew Marlon Sahai, Rich Arsi, Rich Addon, Dan Slossar and Chris Naylis.
