What specifically are you asking about? Why he was gearing up before saving the person?

I think it's more about why he didn't man up

I’m more curious why he’s gearing up at the window for a rescue. Come off the truck ready to work.

Or just, you know, allow the guys who actually do the job to use their common sense and make the absolute easiest grab one could ask for without the mask because you’re standing outside.

Unless we are coming to the fire and we are told confirmed life hazard we don't mask up in the truck. Masking up in the truck is reserved for when you hit the ground you know exactly what you're doing and where you are going, there will be no time for sizing things up.

All this guy had to do, mask or no mask, was reach in the window and pull this person out.
