M1075

A neighboring fire department lost one of their own last night. Details are unavailable, but it appears that the young man was working on a wildland fire when he stopped and got outside the deuce for some reason (possible vehicle or pump problems). The truck apparently rolled over him and he died several hours later at the hospital. He left behind a wife and four children. Please pray for his family and hug yours a little closer today.

We probably can never be 'safe enough', but PLEASE respect the size, weight and capabilities/limitations of our military vehicles. As more and more enthusiasts are drawn to our hobby, it may be easy to loose sight of inherent risks with this type of equipment. Take care of yourself and those around you when operating one. Safety is priority #1.
