It seems lately that all these tradgedys keep happening and it sickens me to see firefighters being killed like flys lately.I will pray for the familys and pray that they investigate the tactics they use to further safety for these brave young men and women who put their lives on the line everyday for all of us.

Their loss of life is no different than the loss of soldiers. The brave die young. Poor training, poor tactics, poor equipment, poor legislation for safety and for pay to get the best men and women for the job. What could possibly go wrong? This hits me hard.
RIP my Heroes.
