47. I pray that

none of the residents of the 3 fully engulfed homes is killed.

These 2 men volunteered for this dangerous duty and meet their deaths by doing so, My heart goes out to their families.

My home town yesterday marked the first anniversary of the first ever loss of a firefighter in the line of duty. A very solemn day for all of us.
