It Could Happen To Any Of Us.....

[x635 4,066]

This week has been one of the most horrific weeks in modern firefighting history.

Just yesterday, we saw a member lost from one of the largest, well-equippment, properly staffed and intensively trained departments in the world.

However, that should NEVER breed an ego, nor should it breed complacency.

So, what does this mean? It means that we have a very, very dangerous job, and not everything's preventable. No firefighter should EVER be lost, but sometimes fate has a different idea.

However, we should learn from each and every tragedy, even if it's a little something.

We should value our time here on earth, as every second is a gift. We should spend our time here, as many of us do, making it a better place for the next generation. Be kind to one another, and never hold grudges. Value every moment of every shift with your fellow firefighters and of every day.
