For the Concerned Citizens, a little bit of clarification. Yep those helments can be heavy, and yes I have worn one for over 20 years. A person who really values the importance of saving lives and not becoming the one being saved or just another statistic, will make sure they wear the gear that not only protects them and the team around them, but more importantly the person they are trying to save. No amount of money should ever be allowed to dictate what we should do to be responsible to our fellow firemen and the person who is relying on us to rescue them. You can do both, follow proper safety and operational protocol and save lives just as quickly as you can without following the protocol. It is great that everyone from this unfortunate incident is alright, and rescuers do put their lives on the line everyday for friends and strangers alike, and for that they are to be commended.

The pic is ok they are trying to save a life….. like the others say if they done wear the right gear that will fall back on them.. we just have to pray nothing happens while they are helping out….. they are putting their lives on the line to help soemone else, no matter what they are wearing.))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I am so thankful that Leigh, David, Sammie and Curt are going to be ok. You are all in my prayers! Leigh, I love you girl! God was truly watching out for you all and I wish you a speedy recovery. You’ve got to be at that class reunion or it won’t be worth the trip for Randy and I. Love to you, David and the kids!

To the families involved, we are praying for a speedy recovery and are thankful with you that you are all alive! To the emergency personnel who responded, THANK You for all you do! To RDB, not sure if you know this or not, but, 95% of the responders yesterday and most of the time are VOLUNTEERS, they do not get paid to wake up in the middle of the night to go to a wreck, house fire, medical call, ect.! Also, have you, RDB, ever worn one of those helments? It’s very heavy and in some situations hard to see what you are doing when you are saving someone’s life! Therefore I would be very grateful, even if one of these fine gentlemen showed up in a barney costume to save one of my family members lives!
