Video: Discovery Channel Special on July 4, 2002 Gloucester City Fire

March 31, 2010 — This video was produced by the Discovery Channel and is about a multiple LODD that occurred in Gloucester City New Jersey and involved both the Gloucester and Mt. Ephraim Fire Departments. This video gives Firefighters an opportunity to look within and ask the question \”How prepared is my Department for a worse case scenario?\” There\’s always something to learn from every tragedy. If a Firefighter\’s death is not to be in vain, than we must take what we can and apply the lessons learned.

May we never forget the Valor, Honor and Sacrifice of our fallen brothers; GFD FF Tommy Stuart , MEFD Chief Jim Sylvester and MEFD Deputy Chief John West.

Train, Be Prepared, Stay Safe – SURVIVE!

Thought for The Day: To Realize

To realize\"!cid_13_1930516700@web46415_mail_sp1_yahoo\"

The value of a sister/brother
Ask someone
Who doesn\’t have one.

To realize

The value of ten years:
Ask a newly
Divorced couple.

To realize
The value of four years:
Ask a graduate. 

PHOTO: Could be Bill The Worm Seddon!

To realize
The value of one year:
Ask a student who
Has failed a final exam.

To realize

The value of nine months:
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

To realize
The value of one month:
Ask a mother
Who has given birth to
A premature baby….
 

To realize
The value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize
The value of one minute:
Ask a person
Who has missed the train, bus or plane.

To realize
The value of one-second:
Ask a person
Who has survived an accident.

Time waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have.
You will treasure it even more when
You can share it with someone special.

To realize the value of a friend or family member:
LOSE ONE.

The origin of this letter is unknown,
But it brings good luck to everyone who passes it on.

Remember…

Hold on tight to the ones you love!
