Downeast Johnny Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Prayers and best wishes to all Firemen. It's a tough, and dangerous job and it takes dedicated folks to answer the call. My Dads Dad was a chief. Lost a leg below the knee hopping a freight to get to school as a kid. Didn't stop him from running up a ladder onto a roof in turnout gear. Here's to all y'all; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 It's happening all too often unfortunately. With advancements in firefighting gear, home insulation, and light weight contruction, it is more dangerous then ever to be an interior firefighter. I hope all the brothers are okay. We had one a few towns over last week like that, residents were jumping out 2nd floor windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
