Update: 2025-11-10
Description
In this episode of Mayday Monday, Eric Morgenthaler and Jeff Hill from Castle Rock (CO) Fire and Rescue share a harrowing near-Mayday incident from earlier this year. Responding to a subtle smoke investigation, the team encountered an older ranch-style home where fire was hidden beneath the floorboards in a finished basement. Hill unexpectedly fell through the compromised floor but maintained calm composure, issuing a timely Mayday that triggered an immediate and coordinated rescue. The crew’s extensive training, quick communication, and teamwork turned what could have been a tragedy into a powerful lesson in preparation and response.
