What a difference a year makes

Some of you may have seen/read this drivel already. But it has been a year, soooo -

It was a year ago, 'morrow, at about 1100 or so, that we got the call for Aloha Drive apartment fire. It is a funny feeling to look at these photos again. I really can feel the adrenaline flow, the heat of the inferno that the apartment was. There was some gnarly shit, a DOA, and a another victim who coded later on. The entire apartment blew right after we got the DOA out from behind the door. Weird, strange conflicting feelings. If he had not died, and blocked the door, forcing us to remove him, there would perhaps have been 4 of us dead, or severely injured. I never felt heat like that in my career.

God protects those who protect, I guess.

Peace out, I gotta a meeting with a leak in the AM.

Yowza.

Aloha....

The intense heat is scary, just looking at that melted object, whatever it is, gives me the creeps. You're brave.
