    Bad wreck...

    Hey, My pumper and a neighboring ladder truck was in a bad wreck today. Two firefighter are pretty banged up. I worked yesterday, not today.

    If everyone could keep them in their prayers along with two civilians, it would be appreciated.

    I hope you and the others recover fully and fast. We worry about our son a lot (EMT) out there on emergency calls all day and something like this hits close to home.

    Seen that on the news at lunch today Chris, I'd of bet money that the occupants of the car would of been hurt really bad or worse yet killed. Plus the guys in the front of the pumper had to of been a heck of a collision. Hope everyone pulls through OK.

    Thanks for what you guys do.

    Holy cow Chris, we all wish them well. You know we always assume that your danger is actually fighting fires and forget that your risk starts when the big doors roll up.

    They lady in the car is actually fine. Two firefighters are hurt. Two fractured femurs, two broken arms, and some bruised up ribs is the story I am getting so far.

    I'll keep them in my thoughts. When you visit, tell them us Creekers with them a speedy recovery.

    Little late, but everyone is out of surgery and doing well. Long road to recovery, but it is looking good.
