“This was a team effort,” said Lt. Michael Detten when describing the rescue on August 29, 2011. BCFD firefighters and paramedics successfully rescued a man that fell far down the side of the Sandia Mountain. The crew had to hike approximately 1 mile in to stabilize his dislocated shoulder and other injuries and then performed high angle rope rescue skills to haul him to safety. This marks the IAFF Local 244’s third ‘Honoring Our Own’ ceremony. We acknowledge BCFD Station 46, B for outstanding service with special recognition to Commander John Nash, Lt. Michael Detten, Engineer Brian Del Curto, Paramedic Shawn Benally, FF Kimberly Paiz and FF Joshua Casias among all the other personnel that made this rescue possible. Representatives from BCFD Training Division joined IAFF Local 244 President, Vice-President and Chief Steward in honoring their heroism.
