Fire Uppydate (TONS of pictures)

**K9soul** · 10-01-2005, 05:50 PM

You know one movie I saw that just REALLY stuck with me was Ladder 49. I always knew that it was hard, brutal, dangerous work, but something about that movie really brought it home. I always think about it now when I think of firefighters, and how many have been hurt and even killed while trying to save/protect us.

This picture in particular stood out to me especially, although all of them are amazing:

My heart is POUNDING in my chest! It is so much like actually being there, living it through your eyes and camera lens, knowing you and your babies were in harms way and could have lost everything. Those are some AWESOME pictures and really show the magnitiude of it....Phew.... I gotta clam my nerves and my heart down...

God Bless Gina for taking your babies in so you wouldn't have that worry of having to leave them or what to do with them. Bad enough to worry about the possiability of loosing your home without having to worry about them too. They were safe and loved in your absense.. THANK YOU GINA!

Glad you are home again and all of you are safe. This has been a very trying ordeal for all us PT'ers and has had me sitting on the edge of my seat for DAYS!!! Thank God you are all alright! God Bless Firemen and First Responders!!

Kelly I'm happy that you are safe and sound now. Those huge fires can be really scary. We had one here in Tucson 2 summers ago. Sounds like your fire dept did an amzing job!

Oh, Kelly, it is so good to hear from you, thank God you came through safe and sound. And thank God for the generous, loving and beautiful lady, Gini, too, knowing that your babies were being kept safe and loved in her care must have been such a comfort. Big, big hugs to you both.

I'm soooo glad that you (and your entire family) are okay, and all of your furkidz are okay, too! what a horrible tragic fire! Did it start because of the heat? Or something else???

God Bless all of the wonderful fireman!!

Wow, absolutely gorgeous pics, that must have been so scary for everyone....it is truly amazing that a fire that big wasn't (thank god) more devistating.
