rgriffith24 Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 My thoughts and prayers go to the firefighters, their families and their coworkers. Line of duty deaths are always a tragic loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Just thought I'd post this for anyone interested: Just really getting in, after all day off the internet. Didn't know. My prayers go out to all who are affected...I'm not sure if that should include you, Fireman_Fred, based on your moniker -- regardless, my sympathies.

hambone Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 The heroism of firemen is something they take in stride as part of their duty yet they are some of the finest souls that walk this earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Indeed what makes it even more tragic is that all four were part-timers and really shouldn't have entered the empty building whilst it was still burning. There will no doubt be an investigation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prayers go out to all who are affected...I'm not sure if that should include you, Fireman_Fred, based on your moniker -- regardless, my sympathies. Thankfully, I am not directly affected but as a professional firefighter it strikes a chord and my deepest sympathies go out to all those who are involved. There, but for the grace of God, go I.....

There will no doubt be an investigation. Without knowing what really happened we cannot judge. (British) Firefighters are trained that if there is ANY possibility that there may be still be persons still in a building that is on fire, they will enter and search (subject to a dynamic risk assessment...).

Goofy Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Having just lived through the fires here in San Diego (again) and seeing just what these firefighters do first hand, I cannot say enough of the bravery, stamina and compassion the people have.
