Bob, It didn't feel right to respond to your "Most memorable alarm" publicly. For me, your story took shock and awe to new hieghts. All of us, with family on the road, have responded to alarms anticipating the worst. It happened to a past chief friend of mine and I'm so sorry it came true for you too. Your time off was a very good move and your return to the service showed a great strength of character. Our world needs us and your world needs you. My prayers are with you. Keep The Faith
