Hi Rick, having been a firefighter 25 years I know that what you hear and what happens in reality are most often two different things. Everyone wants to believe that someone runs into the flames and smoke to save their child/dog/cat/money/pictures/guitar/whatever. I can tell you this. I have seen many broken hearts of folks who have heard such tales and when it actually happened in real life could not rush in to save their kids or whatever,only for them to live a life of guilt forever more. It's a terrible myth we perpetuate. Simple fact is: God wants you to live, even at the expense of the folks and things we value most. ( I know, poorly worded again) Let me tell you all, there is no hell like running into pitch black smoke, horrible heat,blinding darkness that is a house fire. My heart goes out to Stan Rogers & Harry Chappin, along with over 4000 others who die by fire every year.
