Chris,
I believe I can possibly explain the "victim removal from side A" transmissions......
I was searching the second floor bedroom in the A/B corner after members from 211 reported they thought they had a possible visual of a victim in their TIC. They stated they saw what looked like a victim on a bed in the room. 211's crew remained at the threshold of the door with a charged line covering the room as we searched where they directed us. Using their verbal directions as well as the TIC I was carrying I made my way over to the bed and began searching the entire area. There were multiple piles of clothing on the bed so I made several sweeps and checked under the bed. As this was going on I relayed (I don't remember if I radioed or yelled to the 211 line crew) that we needed the side A second floor windows removed and a ladder to the porch roof as that was going to be my means of egress following the search. I believe there may have been a misunderstanding and they may have thought I had found a victim and needed them removed via the second floor. Remember...this is just my personal take on how there may have been some confusion with a "possible" victim.
I'm just very thankful all occupants have been accounted for.
Be safe everyone....
