I am so sorry for the loss of your fellow firefighter, it really does bring home the danger of using any large equipment.
I have been guilty of driving on bad tires, driving with no brakes, and horsing around and posting pics of us "taking chances". I want to let everyone know I for one will be MUCH more careful and responsible with my gear from now on. Accidents happen even when folks are NOT engaging in risky behavior, so I will not be pushing my luck anymore.
That was a respectful send off you gave him, he would have been proud I am sure.
