I'm here at a firefighter's conference in Hawthorne, Nevada and didn't hear about the deaths until yesterday at lunch. Today is an off day, so I haven't been able to talk to any of the safety people to get whatever detailed info they might have. I'm know they'll be remembered in our memorial service on Saturday.

We were doing a live burn exercise yesterday using furniture and bedding as the fuels. That stuff goes up quick and hot. That just adds to the threats firefighters face with modern building materials.

Everybody please take a moment to thank them for their sacrifice.
