September 23, 2023: 
Rescue 1 along with the entire USAR Metro Strike Team was requested into West Milford for a building explosion with 6 people trapped. Prior to USAR arrival, the West Milford fire department removed 5 victims. The last victim was heavily entrapped approximately 10’ into the structure. Paterson Rescue 1 was the first USAR Rescue on scene and started shoring and tunneling toward the victim. Crews were quickly assisted by other arriving USAR units. Numerous battery tools were used to gain access to the victim. USAR units utilized airbags, A 50-ton bottle jack and Paratech Hydrarams to then lift the structure off the victim and remove them from the structure. The victim was successfully removed an hour after our arrival and transported via helicopter to the hospital. Fantastic work by all companies that operated on scene. Also posted at  SPECIAL OP EVENTS (patersonfirehistory.com)
