First and formost condolences to the families nothing we can say will be able to bring back your loved ones. A tragic thing for any fire department to go through.

Every year we see this unfold befor our eyes and every year we are sad, 100 firefighters dies each and every year, one of the things we can do to bring this number down is LEARN form the unforseem situations.

When you are behind the wheel of a fire apparatus drive like your life depends on it---cause it just might. Apparatus and POV accidents account for over 25% of firefighter deaths.

At first I thought the Title must be wrong. Anybody who has driven I-95 south enough times, knows how when you get into southern Virginia, you set your sites on Rocky Mount...North Carolina and count the miles down.

This Rocky Mount, VA is way out west, closer to Roanoke, I-81 and the Blue Ridge Mountains.

~Rest in Peace.
