Just on my local news (10 P.M. central time) that 1 Firefighter was killed and 3 others injured fighting a fire at a movie theatre this afternoon. The Firefighter killed and the 3 injured were just inside the building and didn't make it out in time before the roof collapsed. 1 of the 3 injured has been treated and released from the hospital. This fire happened the next county to my East. More information will be released tomarrow at a press conference.

my condolences to all firefighters. i still believe that cops, firemen, and corrections officers killed in the line of duty should get their own memorial day. They just fought a different enemy than the military.

I agree. They are all emergency responders including the military since some of them are in these careers too. Flags have now been ordered to half-staff in the area until his funeral.

They do put their life on the line everyday. Sympathies to their family, friends, co-workers. :cry:
Many in my family are fire-fighters, police officers; fortunately, none have given their life in the line of duty.

I have Firefighters, Paramedics, Law Enforcement and Military in my family so for this to happen just the next county over hits a little too close to home. Once my brother is done with his shift at his fire dept tomarrow, I will be calling him for sure just to tell him I love him.

My middle grandson is an EMT with the Virginia Beach Rescue Squad. My oldest grandson is currently a BM-3 aboard the USS Anteidum CG-54. We understand service to our country. OOOPS!!! Almost forgot my son in law Mike who retired after 20 years as an Aviation Ordnance Tech.!!
