[SS427]

Last Thursday I had to help cut a 43 year old man out of his truck and another very seriously injured man from his SUV after he slammed the pickup head on at a combined speed of 120 mph while not paying attention. I felt pretty safe in my 1 ton Dually until I saw what can really happen if hit in the wrong place. You could not see daylight looking through the drivers door of the deceased man's truck and the engine was nearly besides him.

The victim left a wife and two young kids without a husband or dad because someone else was potentially careless. We were on scene for over 8 hours but so far joining the Volunteer Fire Department has been anything but boring. At least it is very rewarding.

People need to be more careful!
