"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles; or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

While on an EMS call on Madison the other day, I happen to notice that the house we were in had an attached garage. I also noticed that there was no way to get into the garage from the interior of the house. I thought this would pose an interesting situation if we had a garage fire and made our initial attack from the interior of the house, only to find a wall. Apparently, many of the houses in the Starling area are built this way. Just thought I would throw that out there as a reminder that we can't approach every garage fire the same. Love u. Stay Safe.
