Two fire-fire fighters were hospitalized after falling through a hole in a third-floor building on March 31^st at around 9 p.m. The two were trying to put out a fire in a Chicago building when they fell through a gaping hole. One of them managed to crawl of the incident on their own, while the other was placed under the care of hospital staff. Both were alert and talking while under transportation to the hospital facility. The hospital personnel set them under the serious-to-critical condition. The responders currently remain under the close observation of the medical team to monitor any form of undetected body injuries they may have sustained.

The NFPA 1500 (2013) guidelines require the organization involved in the fire response to provide urgent medical attention as and when needed for the emergency personnel. Additionally, the set of instructions demand that an organization exposes those employees engaged in the fire fighting response to a risk management plan. The risk management plan encompasses the identification, evaluation, and control techniques of specific skills. Also, the program also comprises the establishment of priorities for action. For the incidence, the guidelines by Angle (2013) and NFPA 1500 (2013) influence by risk mitigation plan in the event there is a danger to the emergency response crew.

One of the recommendations I would adopt as a Health and Safety Officer or Incident Safety Officer is to train the firefighters on the response techniques in the event of an accident within the emergency response site. I would recommend an update for the personnel regarding administering first aid to any of the injured colleagues. Also, I would foster team building to ensure all the members are always there to assist each other in the when accidents occur on site.
