"They lost their lives fighting for the safety of our citizens,"

I have been a firefighter for 30 years. In a very busy UK station ( fire house to my American friends) I'm blessed, to be here today. My heart goes out to all the families that lost loved ones that day. The true hero is here is the family left behind. Firefighters where ever they are from see their job as a duty and don't question it. We are not supermen or superwomen, You can call anyone in your hour of need . After firefighters there is nothing. In God we trust.

[forrestmunden]

Does anyone know the story behind this? I was wondering if somebody can call by phone and speak to our academy on opening day to pay respect to these men, and to teach new cadets about the lessons that could be learned from this. Please contact me. We start next week. If you cannot comment, I understand and appreciate your response. With much respect, F. Munden Firefighter/Paramedic
