Dayton Fire Captain hit by vehicle at scene

[Doczilla]

This video is admittedly kind of hard to watch. Barry is an excellent fire officer and paramedic, and is well respected in and out of the department for good reason. The weather that morning was not predicted, as we have been hovering around freezing most nights. He had a fraction of a second to see the car coming for him.

Fortunately, he should do very well, and has been discharged from the hospital.

Videos like this are the second reason I got dash cams for my ambulances. If anything ever goes wrong we can review it step by step to determine if anything could have been done differently to prevent something like this from occurring again. Glad to hear he's ok. Thanks Doc.

That's good to hear he's ok, especially after an impact like that.

He took a pretty good hit. I'm very glad to hear he's on the mend. I hope his recovery continues to go well.

Glad to hear he's doing ok. It's a scary situation for sure.

Holy bejeezus. That's a major mayday moment for sure. Glad to hear he's expected to recover well and that he's already home.
