The first deputy to arrive at the first-floor clinic found the room engulfed in heavy smoke and flames.
"The hyperbaric bed, according to the deputy, was on fire," Jachles said. "He risked his own life to go in there and pull this little boy out."
It is important to mention this guy had no fire retardant gear, special equipment, fire science training or any other attribute in which he thought he could do this without great harm to himself but he rushed in where the angels (hospital staff who where there the whole time) feared to go. This is the sort of Valor that makes me proud to be a D/S.
I feel for the little one. I have been blown up before. Literally. Not just a little burn but blown up. Mine landed me in the hospital for a few days and in recovery for about 5 weeks. I can say this about getting blown up. It is horrific pain that I wouldn't wish on anyone!!!!!!!! They have my deepest simpathy and my thoughts and prayers go out for them.
Just curious.. How were you blown up??
I was working with a gas company filling a propane tank on a consession stand and someone left the pilot lights on inside. When the gas hit the system it created a fireball inside the stand and exploded out through the walls and windows. I was about one foot from the fire as it come out of the building and I was surrounded by the flames.
Thats the nutshell version. When I met you in person I will tell you the story in detail. It just too much to type.
Ok. Maybe at next months m&g at carrimark. If you will be attending.
I'm not sure if I'll be there but I'll try. If not when we meet up just remind me and I'll tell you the story.
