FF CRITICAL: Seneca (MO) Firefighter Tyler Casey, age 21, was critically injured last night while assigned to "storm spotter duties" in the Seneca area when he was caught in the path of a horrific killer tornado. As of early this morning FF Casey was on life support. Our prayers to his family and the members of his FD.
We have been advised that some FD's send their members out looking for signs of tornados....WTF !?!
Unless we are missing something, we can think of few more predictable ways of FF's getting in trouble. FF's or not-when it comes to tornadoes, it can wipe out towns (and people) in seconds....and of course, like you, we have seen some non-FD "storm spotting" folks in their vans with what appears to be the entire inventory of Radio Shack mounted on their roof ...so they can track storms-but using Firefighters?? Perhaps there should probably be a better way in 2008.
