Captain Mick Costello, the training officer for the Concord Fire Department, couldn’t sleep Wednesday night.
Concord’s Engine 5 Captain, Chris Dolloff, needed time to process what had happened that afternoon – a fellow rescuer had spotted a small hand emerge from under a blanket as smoke and fire enveloped the house – before he really felt the impact.
The two Concord firefighters were part of a life-saving, conveyor-belt like rescue operation in Webster. Three people – a woman and two children – were passed through two upstairs windows, moving from Lt. Ben Smith of the Webster Fire Department, to Dolloff, to Costello, who, three times, climbed down the ladder and passed off the victim to a waiting medical team.

Milligan was working dispatch that night when the call came in.
Jefferson Fire Department Captain Larry Coulter was the first on scene. While there, he immediately requested mutual aid. Upon arrival crews attempted to tackle the blaze from inside.
