Belinda when fire is licking your ass you would think differently. <br /><br />He has gone into fires that are hotter than 800 degrees which is signifiantly hotter than my oven. Can you imagine putting on a coat and a mask and going into your oven? <br /><br />God bless the families of these people and God bless our emergency workers who have seen some really horrible things. Please offer up a prayer for my husband. Thanks :)<br /><br />On a personal note I am keenly aware of my surrounings, exits etc.. at all times. My father was an emergency worker and I have heard these stories all of my life.belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04329443602922337980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147998851717628040.post-40939922360667402182009-09-12T18:03:29.584-07:002009-09-12T18:03:29.584-07:00Horrifying. I wonder what they thought. Die on the...Horrifying. I wonder what they thought. Die on the ground or wait for the smoke and flames to overtake them? Or, did they think when they saw others jumping that they knew something; like maybe there was a big trampoline on the ground or something?<br /><br />What really gets to me is the images of the people in the windows or in the burned out holes waving or just standing there looking and waiting for help that never came. I'm also effected by the images of the first responders as they walked into the buildings.<br /><br />It's all just horrible. A nightmare that won't go away.Cathy_of_Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795566831031491371noreply@blogger.com
