Great photos!

I noted with interest in both the TV footage and paper footage that SES appeared to be the only ones with full PPE on - including respiratory protection and eye protection! Certainly made the USAR SES crews look far more professional than some of the others there
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the ability to control it.

An aspect of the job I heard from a crew member.

When the person was located, a tent was erected (I assume AirShelta) to provide privacy at the rear of the building.

This was because the incident site is surrounded by multi-storey buildings with lots of people watching at the windows.

So they had to ensure nothing could be seen from above.
