We have had 2 recent structure Fires that I found disturbing to
think about what could have happened to our Fire Fighters!

Both of these Structures were totally destroyed, The first Structure
we found had a 100lb. LP Tank inside with a Radiant Heat Fixture
attached to it! This tank at some point before the Fire was called in
blew , knocking Pictures off the Wall of a Bar almost a half mile away!
We found nothing more then a small part of the top of this tank! The
second incident we found 2 - 20lb. LP tanks found in the Structure with
Radiant Heaters attached as well , 1 of which did rupture!

We don't know that the LP started either one of these but we do know
that they both lead to the total destruction of both structures!

What would happen if a Fire Fighter had made entry or was in the
process of entering????

I knew we would see a lot more Fires because of the high cost of
home
heating oil and we would see a lot of odd things when people try to use
some other means to heat there homes!

Dave,
Getting involved w/ LLS and Team in Training and serving on the Board with LLS has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life to date. It does my heart good to see that your daughter is a survivor. These kids have such an indomitable will and incredible spirit.
They give me the reason to keep going and keep hoping for a cure.

Dave,
Pending your "ok", I'd be proud to add your daughter's name as a survivor onto my race singlet for my half-marathon this June.

Your daughter sent me a really nice note and her photo so that I know who I'm running for. She's as lovely on the outside as she is on the inside. You must be so proud of her. I know I'm proud to be able to run for her. Thanks for letting me have this opportunity.

Dave, Don't know if you got my comment back so here it is.......No, NOT AT ALL! I think everyone should see it. I made it for a class I teach and have sent it out on request across the country for agencies to use. Shared knowlege is shared power.
I am humbled that you thought that it was okay enough to put up.
Thanks Brother!

Hi Dave,
I was just thinking that I hadn't touched base with you in a while.
Things are great...the plantar fascitis is gone, been increasing my mileage weekly, hit the last two group runs (brrrr) and the fundraising is over the halfway mark.
Give Brianna a hug for me, and thanks again to you and Colleen for all your support--it means more than you know.
