OMG, guys I'm going to need your prayers, and how.
In my town, Stamford, there's a 6-alarm fire going on that's been going on for at least 2 1/2 hours now. I wish I was home, I'm so worried :(. Every fire station in the city is there fighting it tirelessly.
My father is very lucky. He was supposed to be working today, but my mom just informed me that he's not even in town. Today is the Mets' Opening Day game and he went with the boys and my uncles and cousins to see it, thus taking the day off. Thank you, God, for once again saving my family from these kind of things. However, when he gets back into town he may have to go in and be ready to help if he's needed. I hope he doesn't have to, though...Mom says he's getting sick and it's probably a bout of bronchitis :(
Say a prayer for me for them...many of the men who are out there now are friends of my father and have known me since I was little. Some others are friends of mine who are currently volunteer firemen.
Firemen have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. I'm so proud of my father, and how he lays his life on the line for people every day. I can only hope that everything will be OK back home and everyone will escape alive and unharmed, like the 12 people who were in the buiding when the fire started.
