Rescuers with Pennsylvania Task Force One spoke out about the crucial hours they spent searching for survivors in the rubble of the fatal chocolate factory explosion in West Reading.
Task force member Ken Pagurek says their K9 partners train for situations like the explosion every weekend.Last Friday, the dogs had to use those skills to search through piles of dangerous, smoldering debris. "Called for an 'all quiet' on the incident, and we heard her screaming," recalled Pagurek, when crews found a survivor. "They were able to work towards her voice and pull her out. She was in a significant void space that was actually filling with water."Overall, seven people lost their lives in the explosion.
