The fires in LA are crazy right now and so close to town it’s amazing. Not in a good way of course, but it is just amazing how huge they are. The noon news up here in Seattle showed the satellite pics from space and it’s huge. Awe inspiring, huge. I honestly don’t think I can remember seeing them this bad and I know the fires have been bad before. It’s possible I’m just hyper-aware of the fires because of our Chief’s death last year.
But most disturbing was the quick blurb about two firefighters that have passed away in the fire recently in a crash trying to get out of danger. I have a hard time hearing of any death in the fire service of course, but my heart weeps greatly to hear that one of them was weeks from becoming a Daddy.
I am sending this poor woman all my strength as she fights hard to overcome the worst days she could ever experience and the happiest as well. I can’t imagine her grief and if possible I would gladly be down there to try and help her in any way. I hope that she is tight with some other wives and the department so they are surrounding her with love as our department would.
I’m so afraid to go on to my Fire Wives forum. This started out as almost all Cal Fire and then some of us started infiltrating. lol But I’m afraid to get on there and hear it may be someone’s loved one as I know there are preggers on there and many, many hubbies on the cal fires. UGH, I hate this part. I hate it bad. I’m glad I had hubby’s good experience to post about yesterday.
Rest in Peace my brothers.
