The Hackensack High-Rise Parking Lot Collapse: NJ/USAR Technical Rescue Operations-Command Liaison

摘要

While responding off-duty to the Hackensack high-rise parking garage collapse, I advised Hackensack Fire Department (HFD) Deputy Chief Fred Longobardi to have Prospect Avenue Incident Command request New Jersey State USAR Task Force 1 (TF1) for its search/rescue and canine search assets. As I was pulling into HFD headquarters, Longobardi suggested that I report to the command post (CP). On arrival at the scene, a "Situation Awareness" report by Incident Commander (IC) Matt Wagner and District Commander Kenneth Kalman was in progress. It related to ongoing search/rescue operations, including TF1 response and Unified Command (UC) coordination. TF1.
