Prayers for Family in NJ
Hi all,
Some of you know that I am a volunteer EMT in Florham Park, NJ. Yesterday morning there was a tragic house fire in town that killed a father of two and severely injured his wife and teenage daughter. I was on the first EMS crew that arrived on scene and words can not describe how it looked. The reason I wanted to share this story, aside from prayers for the family, is to remind people of two commonly overlooked things that could have prevented this tragedy.
Do not leave Tiki torches and candles burning unattended.
Please make sure all the smoke detectors are working properly in your houses. This family had two installed in the house but they were not functioning.

Our Heart and Prayers to the Juliano Family. Thats why my son runs around the house to make sure all the batteries are changed, smoke detectors and CO detectors work. The house can always be rebuilt but once you loose a life there is no greater loss. Tommy I know the feeling you must have seeing this. My Son tells me of some of the horor storys being an EMS and Fireman.
