Like Whitestar, my family has been very involved in the fire department of Happy Valley, Oregon...my father was fire chief, and my younger brother nearly died when trapped in a burning building, with heat so intensive that his helmet melted.
A sense of panic raced through me as I read this...the same fear that is felt by families of all firefighters throughout every fire call until t hey know their loved ones are safe. I, too, would like contact information for the families of the fallen and injured firefighters, or at least the fire department.
I am so thankful that the Eberths and their horses were unharmed.
