People are clocking this whole situation wrong. This is a training failure! But not because no one taught him what to do. They taught him to be a robot who isn't allowed to think or use common sense to make an easy as fuck rescue. Guaranteed in the academy if given this exact scenario if he reaches in that window and grabbed them with no mask the instructors would have lit his ass a new one for not wearing the proper PPE.

As for not coming off the truck masked up, I'll say it. If you do that without knowing it's a confirmed rescue you're going to, just stop talking. Because you look like a dumbass assigned to staging or hydrant connection wearing your foggy ass mask.
