On May 6th, 2023, CPFD Firefighter/ Paramedic Matt Crow was driving home from his son's baseball game. Matt noticed a plume of smoke that he knew from experience and training had to be a structure on fire. Matt drove to the location and noticed a structure which had fire and heavy smoke showing. He also noticed a car in the driveway as he went to the door. After knocking on door of the structure he heard somebody moving around inside. Firefighter/ Paramedic Matt Crow kicked in the door to perform a search and rescue. Matt entered the building full of toxic smoke, oppressive heat, and black out conditions with no protective gear or SCBA. Matt bravely searched the structure and located the victim. Matt extricated the victim and started providing medical care to the patient. The victim is alive because of the heroic actions of Matt Crow. Matt, you are a Rockstar.
