post San Diego fires

[go z racer, go]

Hey Gang---As some of you know, I make my living as hose monkey here in San Diego and am just now catching up with life. Fire or no fire, it seems I'm always behind the eightball. I just wanted to thank the CZCC member (you know who are) for sending me the list of jokes and to share his list with all of you. I laughed my arse off. I shared this list with my crew and they loved it! I hear it's spreading, anonymously, throughout the department.

Well, you couldn't have sent it at a better time. I mean it, your timing was great and you need to know how much that meant to me...to us. Laughter was in very short supply, however, it was much needed.---Jerry

Hi Jerry:

Good to hear that you are getting back to a normal life after the firestorms. We all appreciate the efforts of you and your brother/sister firefighters in helping to save lives and property. Thank You!

Carl

Carl--Your kind words and support go a long way, thank you very much. Everyone (not just FF), every San Dieagin put up one Hell of a fight. It's one thing to do what you get paid for and train for years to do, it's quite another to stand up (as many citizens did) to something so unpredictable and so fierce as a fire storm.

I never, and I mean NEVER, felt comfortable with the word hero. Let me explain, to me a hero is someone, who, in a sudden moment of crisis, performs an unselfish act that directly results in an-others well being. We, Firefighters, are professionals and to some degree have experienced battles such as this (i.e. LA via Rodney King); albeit on a smaller scale.

The heroic acts I witnessed first hand, time and time again throughout the fire storm, conducted by ordinary citizens (without benefit of experience, training, protective clothing, communication and, or equipment) showing little regard for their own safety while aiding their neighbors. All the while surrounded, literally, in HELL...it just blew my mind. It also made our job a lot easier, more than they will ever know.

I thank you all just same----Jerry

BTW---Firefighter Rucker, in my book gave his life for all of us.

That was funny.

Hope you faired out well during all that.

Love you avator
