Vomit in Mask Cont…
FF Glaser had vomited in his face piece, causing him to try to fix the
issue. He removed his gloves, helmet and face mask, trying to clear the
vomit from the nose cup. While doing that, FF Glaser tragically but
understandably became disoriented and overcome by the smoke and gases
before he could get his mask back in place, and he collapsed due to the
levels of toxin filled smoke and gas, rapidly entering in his system. FF Glaser
was located, removed and EMS began resuscitation efforts, but he was
pronounced dead at the hospital.
