“Now, after this tragedy, the department wakes up and issues safety ropes. But you know what? There are still companies that haven't gotten those ropes.”
“The report says that it wants to reinforce the policy of not allowing members to enter or operate where they are in immediate danger. Isn't that what firefighters do every day? The report is a factual report recommending how to upgrade as quickly as possible equipment and training and self-evacuation. My husband, Curt, John and the four others would have loved to evacuate but the department didn't provide the tools for them to do it.”
