Rescuer being rescued

Sometimes the rescuers need to be rescued. Here are some photos uploaded to Flicker by the Los Angeles Fire Department. Apparently Battalion 2’s vehicle became entrapped in a mudflow on January 18, 2010 and had to be extracted by a heavy rescue vehicle from their fire department.
