I just saw your photo of the "trench oops" Great shot! I am in the process of authoring a book on trench rescue for Thomson Delmar. the text manuscript is done and now I am onto the fun part of putting all the images together. I have about 1000 but am always looking for more. If you have any you think would be good I would be happy to add the appropriate photo credits, etc. The book is 11 chapters and includes chapters like the Anatomy of a Trench and Physiology of Trench Collapse as well as Leadership, etc.
Any input or images is always welcome. So if you haven't seen things in a book on trench rescue you would like to, it's not too late but let me know quick!
Thanks...BE SAFE!!!

We will keep fighting for our firefighters here against the entrenched good ole boys. We will win because we have the truth on our side. We have a brother that needs help here. 49 yrs old and dying of cancer. Please ask all your brothers and sisters to go to our website www.local61.com and help if they can. Stay safe brother.
