According to Assistant Fire Chief Harold Rogers, the department responded to three structure fire calls Monday. As Chief Rogers was returning to the fire station from the scene of the last call around 5:30 p.m. the rescue truck he was driving went off the road. A volunteer firefighter following the chief in another rescue truck discovered the accident and verified that he had collapsed and died at the scene. The exact cause of death is still undetermined.

Thoughts and Prayers to the Family and friends of Chief Rogers and the Claxton Fire Department.

You're right, Seth. I think, for some reason that the spirit is just a bit sluggish getting started. There seems to be quite a bit more decorations along Putnam Drive as I wander my way home. I always enjoyed this time of year.

AMEN, Brother, so would I!!!!!

Be careful of cingular, my nephew had it and he hated it. He finally went with Verizon. He says it works MUCH better.

You don't need one guy to "flag down the ambulance". We're quite capable of finding locations on our own, thank you. Plus the big red truck in front usually helps too. :roll: [-X More than 2 is generally needed for manpower....mainly for lifting, lifting heavy patients, complicated carrydowns, helping carry our sometimes buly amount of equipment, CPR compressions and ventilations, to drive the bus on occasion, etc I know EMS is capable of finding scenes on your own but the part about the big red truck? I hope that in the case of a long driveway where the big red truck can't be seen from the road that somebody would have brains enough to place a flare or two an the end of the driveway.

As the wake was underway, lawmakers in Albany passed emergency legislation declaring the 39-year-old Engeldrum's death as occurring in the line of duty - as if he had died fighting a fire in New York. The designation, requested by Mayor Bloomberg, grants Engeldrum's widow an annual pension equal to his full salary, a lump sum equal to one year's pay and health benefits for her and her children for life. "This legislation ensures that those he had to leave behind will know that New Yorkers appreciate his sacrifice - and will never forget it," Bloomberg said. Hats off to Mayor Bloomberg!

Congrats, Cappy! =D> =D> , BUT jf you only knew what's in store as you move up the ladder. :yikes: :yikes:
