K9 Callie

Happy I did some really cool things!

1 Nov 2023 we were called out to an 11 story, abandoned coal mine plant that had collapsed while being salvaged in Eastern KY. Two salvage workers were inside the building at the time of the collapse. Sadly, neither one of them survived. Callie worked efficiently with a perimeter search and punched into the wreckage where she could. The super fine coal dust and particles presented very interesting problems for us to navigate during the search as well. We were humbled by the tireless efforts of the Louisville and Lexington Fire Department’s Heavy Rescue crews who dug, cut, moved, and worked diligently in the search. We appreciate the work done by as well. We always hope for a better outcome but after seeing the work of everyone involved in the search, I know those salvage workers had the best chance they could have had. Our condolences go to those who lost a loved one in the collapse.
