Brad,
Small correction. This was box 11-05. This was my first large fire as a chief officer. Hope that dosen't make you feel old. I could feel the heat when 11-2 pulled in and that was with the window being up.
No pun intended Brad on the old comment.
It has been corrected, being older just means I get to retire sooner and enjoy the sunny beaches.
