I imagine hearing people screaming for help and not being able to get to them is one of the hardest things to deal with specially after the fact

Hey, what was the cause of the accident

[elizabethramsey]

I would have ran into that tunnel to try and save those 3. The man screaming help, you can hear the screams of our pain, torture, and just pure fear. 😢

This is another reason training hours are important for firefighters both volunteer and professional. Nobody ever knows if they'll ever see "the big one" so it's best to be prepared

My prayers are for you and with you all.
