Richard Lantz and Richard Polakiewicz are portraying two Polish noblemen of the 17th century. On the other hand, that could be Pan Zagloba and Pulkownik Woldyowski, characters from Henryk Sienkiewicz's famous trilogy, composed of With Fire and Sword (1884), The Deluge (1886), and Pan Michael (1887-88). Sienkiewicz was a 1905 Nobel Laureate in Literature because of his outstanding merits as an epic writer.

Bruce Lukaszewicz (BELphotos) > This is your normal, run-of-the-mill street electric box commonly in use today across the country. In San Diego, SDGE (San Diego Gas and Electric) does not object if community members decorate or paint them in such a fashion as to make them blend in with their surroundings. This particular box is located on the front lawn of SDFD Station 15 in Ocean Beach. I have attempted to identify the artist, but as is common in OB, the artist prefers to remain anonymous. Station 15 is located at the corner of Voltaire and Ebers Streets. It has recently been given a cosmetic face-lift by community members appreciative of the dedication of members that man the station.

Upon arrival crews found heavy smoke billowing from the front doors and the third floor windows. There were several occupants hanging out the third floor windows in need of immediate assistance. Bystanders were also yelling that there were several occupants just inside the front hallway unable to escape to the outside. Engineer Shadoan raised Truck 1’s ladder with Firefighter Rodriguez on it to a third floor window while Firefighter Allison raised a 35-foot ground extension ladder to another third floor window with trapped occupants. These three individuals rescued four occupants from the windows on the third floor while encountering heavy smoke. One of the victims was blind and needed special guidance. Meanwhile Firefighters Allen and Lukaszewicz and Engineer Via arrived on Engine 201. They masked up, entered the building and encountered heavy black smoke with zero visibility. They searched several rooms before finding a victim lying in the hallway. Because of the extreme heat, they had to temporarily retreat. Finally they were able to drag the victim inside one of the rooms and partially close the door. They were able to get the unresponsive victim out the window, down the ladder and to the ground. Unfortunately, this victim did not survive. Arriving first in on Engine 1, Firefighters Babler and Nelson masked up and proceeded inside the front entrance encountering several occupants needing assistance out of the building. Firefighter Nelson carried out the first victim he encountered then returned inside and rescued a second occupant. Meanwhile his partner, Firefighter Babler, advanced a hoseline to the second floor where he encountered a male occupant who needed assistance. Dropping the hoseline, then helping the man to safety, Firefighter Babler heard a loud noise from the second floor courtyard. In the courtyard, Firefighter Babler found a man screaming “my leg is broken and I can’t breathe.” Firefighter Babler carried the man downstairs to awaiting medical treatment. Engineer Sherman, single-handedly, put several hoselines into operation and placed ladders in windows, which assisted in the rescue of several occupants. His performance as an Engineer, under an extremely stressful situation, allowed other crew members to focus on rescuing occupants and extinguishing the fire. San Diego Fire-Rescue Department presents Lifesaving Medals to Firefighter/Paramedic Eric Allen, Firefighter Chad Allison, Firefighter/Paramedic Christopher Babler, Firefighter Robert Lukaszewicz, and Firefighter Eric Nelson, Engineer Robert Sherman, Engineer Joseph Via, and Firefighter Oscar Rodriguez and the Lifesaving Citation to Engineer Michael Shadoan.
