ST. ALBANS, Vt. — “Here you’ll see me coming up the hill with the child,” said Nate Bachand, looking at the video.
Volunteer firefighters Nate Bachand and Stephen Bracey weren’t expecting this kind of rescue when the first call came in last Thursday. “Rollover on the interstate into the median was the call,” Bachand explained. “So we’re expecting 25 feet off the road, you walk to the car and there it is. We get there and it’s down a 50-70 foot embankment at an 85-degree angle.”
On top of that, there is a baby they need to reach. “It puts a whole different outlook on the scene when there’s a baby involved,” Bracey said. “It’s scary.” Add the ice built up along the guardrail and down the hill and these firefighters had a logistics challenge they don’t often face.
