Very sad to hear tough call for all the brothers and sisters on that call keep your heads up....

[BBBMF 158]

What a tragic story...deepest sympathy for all those involved in this horrific event.

This goes to show you how very little time we have anymore to actually pull any victims out of a house built from newer construction. Synthetics and light weight construction just give us so little time to make a difference in a situation like this.

I am so sorry to everyone who has to cope with this...may god bless everyone who responded to this and prayers for their son and family

[SageVigiles 1,194]

Very tragic story. My thoughts and prayers are with the son who survived, what a terrible thing to have happen.

For those of you who responded to this incident, stay strong and remember to support each other.

[KelliPVAC 32]

This is such a sad story. My heart goes out to all the family members, and all first responders involved.

Its never easy to deal with a fatality, whether its in a fire, or accident, especially if you know the people.

From someone who knows first hand, my heart goes out to all the responders and their families, and the son on his speedy recovery and strength to deal with his losses.

[PFDRes47cue 653]

Terrible tragedy, RIP. Thoughts and prayers are with the little boy and first responders.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the victims, the Larchmont Police Department who lost thier Captain and friend and all the responders who were at the horrific incident.

Guys if you were at the fire don't be scared to go to a debriefing. Don't leave the pain locked inside.

A sad day in this country today, prayers go out to the 10 service men and woman that have passed today, the Yorktown Police Department in regards to the passing of K-9 Caesar, as well as all those affected by the tragic fire in Carmel today. None will be forgotten!

Guys if you were at the fire don't be scared to go to a debriefing. Don't leave the pain locked inside.

I can not agree with this more. PM Me if you want to talk about debriefing and holding it in, I have personal experience with this. Please, if you need it, take it. Stay strong.
