I am so glad the driver and passengers are okay. My comment is about Hwy. 97. I travel that road 4 times a day. I drive the speed witch is 55 mph. I have been passed by all can of trucks and cars,going at least 70 to 80 miles mph maybe faster.They have passed on yellow lines and double yellow lines. I have had to run off of road seveal times. I live on a road the speed limited is 45. They have had speed traps the average speed was 70 mph. Are they still speeding yes they are.We have just give up trying to get something done.Seems law abiding people cannot get any thing done. So I am asking you to please slow down. Before you get hurt or some one else does.

Your post (words) sound more like those of a real (true) moron ( idiot).

“Advice for the guy in the photo gallery. A totaled out vehicle is not worth risking your lungs and/or life. Next time take the time to put on the bunker gear and SCBA that us [sic] taxpayers supply you with [sic]. You’ll thank me in later years when you dont [sic] have to retire on the heart and lung bill.”

Advice for DJ : Next time try not being such a portentous, grandiloquent and overblown windbag. I think you’ll find that you’ll be much better suited.
I’m sorry that you don’t seem to actualise the literary skills of that person that you so boldly strain to impersonate here.

Deadly Jobs is a arm-chair quarterback. He didn’t know the circumstances of the situation he was refering to. Any one can second guess someones actions after the fact. It isn’t a matter of being a hero, it’s about doing what is moraly right. A situation presented itself and the guy in the pic acted. Firefighters in the county wear there PPE’s and do a fine job. You say you have had 30 years experience going to car accidents, were you a by stander or what. If you truly had the experience you claim, you know good and well that you have to check the vehicle thuroughly for trapped victims. Asking the other passengers of the vechicle is a good idea, but you have to take in account that they could possibly be disoriented or in some state of shock. If you have the experience you say you do, you know good and well you still have to check the vehicle. I would hate to know that someone was missed, because someone like you who claims to have the experience, but not the motivation to actually do what has to be done was the first one there. It sound to me like you would take a lot of shortcuts. Maybe you should invest in a scanner and you could actually hear what all was taking place during the time of the incident you are talking about. Knowledge is the key, know what you are talking about before making a comment. Knowing is half the battle.

Deadly jobs,
You actually sound like one of the big guy safety men on some of the jobs I have seen in plants, that walk around yelling and screaming the rules…

As I have observed “safety men” yelling at a hard working grown man, that it is a safety rule when on a ladder to always have one hand on the ladder, and at the same time yelling at the same person that he is not allowed to hold a grinder with one hand (grinders are to be held with 2 hands at all times) while the other hand is holding the ladder. ”

The same safety man yelling at another hard working grown man
“Everyone on this job wears a white hard hat, and you have on a brown hard hat, How am I supposed to find you when I need you?’

Sounds kind of STUPID doesn’t it? And so do YOU.

I am so glad everyone made it out of the burning van. It sure seems like there is always gonna be one person out there bashing our great firefighters. They are true heros. It’s a shame.
