L.O.D.D. 2 Alarms 919 Coates st, Fire Fighters trapped, Sharon Hill -

Firefighters Mike Reagan, 19, Chris Miller, 21 and Joe Tesauro, 23 were all injured Wednesday, September 26, 2006, when the front of a burning garage collapsed, pinning them under the rubble and a 30' steel I beam.

Fire Board dispatched companies for the structure fire advising they were receiving numerous calls. P/D arrived confirming a working fire in a detached 3 car garage. 09-2 arrived o/s confirming p/d's report and went in service with an exterior attack with an 1-3/4 water line. Command advised fireboard of a collapse with Fire Fighters trapped. The r.i.t. and 2nd alarm were called for by command. Three 1-3/4" water lines and one 2-1/2" water line were placed in service. Fire Fighters worked frantically to uncover and free their fallen brothers. 1 Fire Fighter was transported to Fitz in cardiac arrest but was revived, thanks to the excellent work of our EMS people, and the staff at Fitz. All other Fire Fighters were transported to Crozer Chester. A total of 5 Fire Fighters and 2 police officers were injured either from the collapse or the effort to free those that were trapped. The Police officers were transported to Taylor for burns to the hands from the extrication effort, both were treated and released. The trapped fire fighters were pinned under a steel I beam outside the bldg when the front sliding doors and beam collapsed outwards pinning them underneath. Fire Fighters, Police and EMS on scene did a fantastic job working hand in hand extricating and treating the injured members.

Other Injured Firefighters and Police Officers:
· F/F J. Tesauro - 2nd Degree burns to leg, released Friday.
· F/F C. Miller - 2nd Degree burns to back and hip, released Saturday.
· F/F A. Payne - Minor Injuries, treated and released.
· Officer D. Kemp - Minor Injuries, treated and released.
· Officer E. Robinson - Minor Injuries, treated and released.


My thoughts and prayers to those injured Fire Fighters and those that are close to them.
My deepest heart felt sympathies go out to the Reagan family and the Sharon Hill & Holmes Fire companies where Michael was a member.

    I did not know mike at all, i knew him through friends, and heard a lot about him, out of respect and sympathy i went to the funeral for him, because how much it touched my heart. I really hope mike seen how many people turned out to go, and how beautiful it all turned out, and to show how many people truely loved him. When a local firefighter dies, especially so young it is nothing but tears, just to know he was out to save our lives. rest easy mike you really deserved it! you had the BEST nineteen years of your life, and everyone loves and misses you. <3 i wish i got to know you, i didnt even know you and you did nothing but make an inspiration on me. thank you.

    I know his true love was firefighting but I worked with him at the pool where he was a lifeguard. I know he loved doing that as well. His interests and jobs seemed to revolve around helping people. He managed to touch more peoples lives and do more good things in his 19 years than most people do in a lifetime. I love you Micheal and will miss you dearly!
