Peabody MA Fireman LODD 12-23-11

[MAKO69]

Another MASS line of duty death. FF James Rice while fighting a multifamily dwelling on Hancock St. in Peabody Mass became trapped low on breathing tank air was forced to breath in uncombusted toxic gasses and smoke while waiting for his brother fireman to get to him. That month of december is a bad month for fireman.

 

To quote a friend on FDNY " Sometimes we just keep getting kicked in the teeth"

 

 

FF James Ryan Died 12-23-11

 

I love working for my Fire Dept. The camaraderie is 2nd to non the people who have served in the military know this type of brotherhood/bond. The good days out weigh the bad ones, but when we have bad days they are really "BAD" days. The guys down in Stamford CT Fire Dept. with the loss of life w/their Christmas morning fire of 2 grandparents and their 3 grand daughters, The Stamford guys must be a mess too.

Sad to see. My condolences to my MA brethren and the family.

 

Sorry to meet under such circumstances but it's always nice to meet another fireman. I work for West Feliciana Parish in Lousy Anna's armpit, one of the few paid guys in a mostly rural volunteer outfit.
