Some of the comments from folks on Fox News sure did piss me off. It was definitely an accident, but at the same time, having been a volunteer firefighter in the past, I realize that they overlooked a few key safety points... nothing we can do to change that, just learn from their mistakes (and I can definitely see how this relates to climbing, bucket trucks, etc), and wish the best for the two firefighters who are still in the hospital.
For some reason, people think that everyone in Ky is a shoeless, toothless, hick that has no clue about anything except chewing tobacco and making moonshine (or at least that's the impression I got from most of the people posting on fox's facebook page).
