[It's Only Me]

Volunteer Fireman/EMT here. We had a small memorial service last night for 19 of our brothers lost in helping others.
R.I.P.

I was horrified. The entire crew -1. Hot shots are some of the most amazing people. Most of them had young families. I know several firefighters that travel and fight wildfires every summer. It's a risk they all take.

The last I heard was 8,500 acres, 200/250 structures lost and 0 containment. Conditions are poor for tonight with more lightening and winds predicted.

Thanks for the info. I think our Fire Department should make a donation forthwith.
A lot of families are struggling right now. We lost men braver than me.

Tug at my heart why don't you. It's tough to look at.
I don't doubt that any one of them would do anything for each other.
