Rick's first fires




Here is a link to our newspaper's article about some of the recent fires we've had in the area following the ice storm. There's two pictures of house fires that Rick was at. I just don't know if he's one of the guys in the picture or not.

On Wednesday he left at 4am and didn't make it back until almost 4pm. They went from one fire to the next to the next without even going back to the station in between calls. It was his first day actually fighting fires and they had him up on the ice-covered roof at one home with an axe, punching a hole in it and dropping the hose in.

Last night he responded to another call and this morning he is out again.

My husband, my soldier, my fire-fighter, my medic, my nurse, my hero!

Correction: Rick just got home and looked at these photos. In the top photo he's the man on the left, holding the hose! WOO HOO! GO RICK!
