My brothers best friend died yesterday!!

My brother is a fire fighter in Pittsburg CA. His best friend Matt Burton and Scott Desmond were killed in a house fire the other day. I was just talking with Matt at my nieces first birthday party last weekend. This really SUCKS!!!

I met Scott at a party my brother had a couple months ago. Both were great guys.

Firefighters Creed

When I'm called to duty God, Wherever flames may rage
Give me strength to save a life, Whatever be it's age.

Help me to embrace a little child Before it is to late.

Or save an older person from The horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert To hear the weakest shout

And quickly and efficiently To put the fire out

I want to fill my calling and To give the best in me

To guard my neighbor and Protect his property

And if according to your will I have to lose my life

Bless with your protecting hand My children and my wife.



Sorry to hear of the loss RM.
God bless the service pros.

Thanks guys

The worst thing is that Matt was just covering for a guy that was on vacation. That's not even his station. My brother is covering the rest of his shifts till that guy gets back.
