“We train a lot and we train often but aircraft incidents are a rarity,” said Renton firefighter and EMT, Jessica Clearman.“When we arrived on scene we saw the two patients were already out of the plane one patient was already on the ground,” said Renton firefighter and EMT, Michaela Wallace. “We just go through our steps go back on our training and work well with our neighboring agencies.”“It was myself, Jessica, and our officer Lieutenant Weaver.
Renton Fire said it typically responds to a handful of incidents every year but has only seen one other plane crash since 2020. “Do we have a fuel leak? Are we dealing with a big Boeing 737? Are we dealing with a small plane? Do we have two patients? Do we have 200 patients?” said Clearman “My father was a firefighter. I grew up with him going to the fire department. I loved him and the guys he worked with and that was my inspiration to get into this career to help people and to be a public servant,” said Wallace
