Pictures From Calls

This page features photos taken on calls with Marlboro Rescue during 2007. We rarely have personnel available to take pictures on calls, which is why there is such a small collection here. Pictures are provided for educational purposes only. Although there were injuries and deaths associated with some of the incidents depicted here, extreme discretion is used in deciding which photos to place on this site. These pictures are only a small example of the severity and number of calls that MCR responds to on a daily basis.
