Before the incident

Driving to the scene

What happened

arrived on the scene of the working fire at [REDACTED] I initially began assisting with managing the 2 1 2 line on the alpha side of the building. After assisting at various positions on the hose line we began to create a loop of the hose to make it easier to manage and free up manpower. After creating the loop I stood up and noticed a sharp pain in my lower back recognizing that this was similar to a previous non-fire related injury I removed my SCBA and gear notified firefighters nearby that I was hurt and returned to the cab of ET-141.
