Last night during some of the worst weather of this round of ice, station 25 (of monroe county,pa) was called out for a dwelling fire in a private community called Pocono Country Place. Surrounding companies were called for mutual support, and soon after the chief called for a RIT team from station 45, possible entrapment. (I got to listen to it unfold as I was at my "real" job.) I found out today that a father who had awakened his family thought he was missing one of his children went back in after them, but he didn't make it . The child was already out..I don't know what factor the weather played in the response if any,, but this is a perfect example of why when we do public awareness that we firmly implant the need for having a meeting place for the family...Our thought and prayers go out to the family and all firefighters who have to deal with this awful event....
