Fairfax Mayday

Of all of the Mayday transmissions I have listened to this is definitely one of the best from a learning perspective. The mayday was called early and contained all of the critical information, the IC was calm and maintained a strong command presence and quickly took appropriate actions. Communications were clear and concise and accountability was evident throughout the incident. Also, a PAR was conducted after the down firefighter was rescued. Listen to this transmission as it is a great example of how to manage the mayday.
