On Monday, a 22 y/o firefighter was ambushed & shot while stepping off a firetruck to extinguish a vehicle fire which was set as a trap for the first responders. Two police officers were also wounded in the attack. Ryan's funeral today was comprised of 350 firetrucks, ambulances, over 100 police vehicles, plus chief vehicles and private vehicles. It stretched over 7 miles. There were 1200+ firefighters from all over the country in attendance. There are no words to describe the emotions. It has been a sad week indeed :(
