futuredivot 0 #4 February 9, 2009 Back when I used to play fireman I had ceilings fall on me, been blown out of a doorway and flashed over more than a few times. The worst scare I got was on a forest fire when the wind changed and cut me off. Watching the news reports of these poor people tears me up.You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,171 #5 February 9, 2009 I have a friend in Melbourne. He said that they don't have an A/C at home because the weather doesn't warrant it. Their fish have died from the heat. It's pretty incredible, and very awful. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

bigway 4 #7 February 10, 2009 Very sad over here. 101 people already delivered to the morgue. So many more to go. Children, teens, parents, families, celebrities, bussinesman, community leaders. Very sad. They say Ash Wednesday was a BBQ, Black Saturday was a Fire. So sad. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
