Good for you mate! The world needs people like you :D

How was the MFB's specialist SAR equipment/capabilities- if you are able to pass judgement on them.

they were not carrying much specialized equipment....only some gas cutters, crow bars, ordinary and life ambulances, some stretchers. Most of the initial rescue work was done by local boys and some 200 Mazgaon Dock workers as the crash happened at around 5 a.m. in the morning and the building was adjacent to the Mazgaon Docks entrance and so they were like the first responders, the MD people provided some excavators, JCB machines, fork lifts, drillers, dumpers.....there were like 6 different teams helping in the rescue effort....2 teams from NDRF, MFB personnel, Mazgaon Docks workers with inner ring security provided by Civil Defence Corps and the local Koliwada boys and outer ring security by Mumbai police...the NDRF people were doing most of the rescue work on the back side of the building with one team from MFB as they were some people trapped on the back side of the building and the Mumbai Fire Brigade personnel were working on the entrance side of the building as it was completely flattened where Mazgaon Docks personnel and BMC manual workers were using excavators and drillers to clear the debris and MFB personnel were just picking up the dead bodies. There was one lady fire brigade officer helping out with the MFB team though
