Just wanted to share this with everyone because its so sad and totally preventable.
In my area last week there was a fire outside a plastics plant. There is a no smoking policy ANYWHERE on the property... however some people poke out back doors to "sneak" a smoke. Well I'm sure you can guess what happend... the cigarette got flicked to the ground and the person went back to work. There was a pile of empty pallets outside the door and the cigarette caught them on fire. Many volunteer fire departments from the area responded to the fire. Unfortantly there was an equipment malfunction and a 24 year young volunteer firefighter was killed.
I was on my way to work the day of the funeral and heading the opposite way the funeral prosession was going...
Everyone going my way pulled off to the side of the road to show respect... It was so sad to watch that long line of police cars and fire trucks.. including the one carrying the casket on top...
PLEASE think about what you are doing when you flick that cigarette...
