Comment by Rick Stockton on April 5, 2010 at 7:39pm: Wonderful job, guys. Great photos, too. I actually liked the stills more than some of the shaky videos we always see and the music was a good choice. Bring on the drudgery! I hope the owners recover quickly and Thanks to God nobody was inured, including the hounds!

It's an old school, white sock-wearin, inside joke kinda thing. You might not understand. And yes, most FF's are at least EMT's - including me. Pure drudgery.

Comment by Dan on April 5, 2010 at 4:32pm: why not medics? most firefighters are EMTs or medics.

Comment by WestPhilly on April 5, 2010 at 1:25pm: Flash,

Your repeated use of the terms "fireman" and "firemen" are even worse than those firemen - I mean, firefighters - up on the roof (gasp!) with no paks on. This just won't do on FFN. And weren't some of those firemen actually firewomen? (I know, medics don't count). I'm with you there, dude.

Comment by Kathy Williams on April 5, 2010 at 11:11am: Great work saving the dogs. I love my cats and would be devastated if anything happened to them, as I'm sure the pet owners in this incident would be too. What caused the fire?
