I will be in Emmitsburg on the 25th.. National Fire Academy... If ne one else is going let me know. Buy ya a beer.

If you are a member of the secret list. You probably heard. 3 ffs injured in MD. I didn't think much of it. We (FFs) get hurt. My mistake was not following one of my buds after college. He was one of the 3 injured in the collaspe. As of now, 11:21 pm Central, he has been released. The other 2 on his crew are still in ICU/Burn Unit. I've bowed my head and prayer... maybe/hopefully you will as well.

I attended the funeral for Riley Joesph Terrebone Jr. this weekend. The attendanced was fantastic, attendence, by local, pd, sheriffs office, ems, state pd, and local and some nonlocal fire departments. There is a difference between attending a funeral and helping with setup and organization. FF just don't need to show up to the visitation and funeral, but before to help organize the setup for the prossession, and gravesite attivities. This is when we should come together to help out.
