GREAT job Lagrange..a lot of fire and your guys did a terrific job saving property. Congratulations on a great save.
First to anonoymous, Thank you!
One of the pictures is of me changing an air tank out for another firefighter, who just happens to be my son.
To Terry, thanks for the drinking water, the guys needed it and unfortunately it's one of the last things thought of when we're onscene. And it's not always easy to find someone to free up and run for it.
BTW, I was a LT. on the dept. in '97 and ended up on News5 in your video interview of me after a car vs. bicycle accident at Biggs and Wheeler Rd.'s where we had Lifeflight. I think my wife still has the vcr tape she recorded from the news that night.
Thanks again,
Capt. Dan
Not a problem Capt. Dan, I just happened to have a couple cases in the back of my car.
I am trying to remember the story on Biggs... I am glad you still have the tape from the story though.
I hope both you and your son have signed up for the EMAIL ALERTS @ tmcnews1@aol.com
Also, drop me a line - I have a disc for your chief but when I went to the station to drop it off nobody was there. Let me know how I can get it to him.
