protocols are in place for a reason, like when he puts out the mayday call and 5 others have to go in and find him. it worked out this time but someday the luck will run out.
i say this with respect for the people who choose the fire service for a profession.. my uncle...my moms brother, was a cambridge firefighter for 28 years, as was one of his sons for 18 and another was on the somerville fd. and while i'm on the soapbox, a shout out to my high school buddy's dad, an everett firefighter who i remember being at the scene for 4 days when chelsea burned down in the 70's. ok, stepping off the box now.
