“Very, very frustrating. It’s probably one of the worst case scenarios as a firefighter you’re going to face,” said Flat Rock Mayor Mark Hammond, who used to be a firefighter. “One, you want to save lives. That’s what we all go to school for, that’s what we train for, that’s what we’re here for. We want to make sure people get out, and when you are trying to rescue somebody it’s very frustrating when you can’t.”
