Amity Fire Co., Douglasville, PA Robert Stone LODD-11.03.09

Friday 11.13.09

Day 1 of the trip started out pretty normal; Bryan and I were running late to pick up Art and Dave. Once on the road everything seemed to be going good. Our first stop was an LODD that just occurred on November 3rd. We usually don't visit that early but it was literally on our way. What should have been a 1.5 hr trip turned into a 3 hrs trip. In our usual fashion, accusations were flying around the car of who screwed up the directions. What we found was the address provided by the US Fire Admin. was wrong; Oh, and God wanted it to take that long. The delay allowed us to catch the Chief at the fire house. He was on his lunch break. Coincidence? not likely. We were able to spend about an hour with the Chief and their career guy. We talked with them about their fallen brother, explained what we were about, planted the seed, and prayed with them. The Chief asked us to come back when they have a company meeting so that all the members would be there to recieve the plaque. Thank you God for being in control. Thank you for going before us to place people in our path.
