10th anniversary of Stanza fatalities - Heather, John and Steve

[abercrombie]

July 28, 2012 marks the 10th year since we lost three fine
firefighters, friends and family members.

Please take a moment today to remember them and why they are no
longer with us on the earth.

We spend months training and honing our understand of fire behavior,
human nature and risk management. Yet we sometimes treat driving as
just another thing we do on the job, relegating its risk below that of fire
or aircraft.

History has shown driving is one of the most dangerous things we do.
Thus, it demands the same respect we give to the job. Whether
responding to an incident, during shift or on the way home.

Steve, Heather, John.. 10 years has done little to ease my pain of
your loss. I think about you every time I take the wheel of a truck.
I try an honor you by teaching those I work with the dangers of
driving. I challenge others to do the same.

We miss you.

What a fine crew. Ab.

10th anniversary of Stanza fatalities:

I ask everyone to take a moment to remember the 3 who died 10 years ago today: Heather, Steve and John.
Their deaths affected so many, offered many lessons learned and they are still missed every day. Remember
their wonderful lives, their sacrifice and most importantly, remember to stay safe out there. Our beautiful
Heather would want it that way.

Here is the last photo of Heather, Steve and John, taken as they geared up for their last shift.
