As a firefighter, I felt that this had to be made. For healing; for closure; but mainly for the fact that we are ALL FAMILY in the fire service. No matter where or when you do or have served. On Friday, March 7, 2008, Firefighters from the Salisbury, NC fire department responded to a confirmed working fire at a millworking factory. This ended up being an "All-Hands" fire; eventually going to 5 alarms; requiring a firefighting response from more than 4 counties.

Firefighters, Justin Monroe, and Victor Isler; along with their Captain, Rick Barkley entered as one of many attack crews. During early operations they became trapped by heavy fire and "deteriorating conditions"; along with inadequate water supply. Following a "Mayday" call, RIT (Rapid Intervention Team)crews entered and were immediately able to rescue Captain, Barkley. Unfortunately, due to horrible conditions, they were unable to immediately locate Justin or Victor. They both were located after several other attempts were made, but they both succombed to there exposure to "high heat and carbon monoxide". Two of our brothers did not return home. It is with great tribute that I made this video. It is a tribute to them; to their families; to their service; and to their sacrifice; as well as to the gallant efforts of those who made the rescue attempts; and to those that live by the creed,"YOU GO!! WE GO!! NO MAN LEFT BEHIND". Justin Monroe was only 19 and far beyond his years. Victor Isler was 40; well seasoned; and a brother to all he came in contact with. The same can be said for both men. BOTH are firefighter's firefighters. I only hate that I never met either of them... But I will some day VERY SOON...

GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!! [More] [Less]

Jeff Lewis, National Director of FIRE Coalition, interviews Sheriff Terry Johnson, Alamance County, North Carolina, about his participation in the federal 287(g) program. Section 287(g) of the federal Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which became law in 1996, allows state and local law enforcement officers and employees to perform the same functions as federal immigration (ICE) officers. As a participant of this program, Sheriff Johnson provides valuable insight for state and local government leaders as to the benefits of 287(g).

OPERATION FIRE AND ICE ( http://OperationFIREandICE.com ) is a project of FIRE Coalition, and was created to assist state and local law enforcement with participation in the 287(g) program. The public benefits from learning about 287(g) as well, since often the push for their local governments to begin enforcing federal immigration laws comes from ordinary citizens, not their political representatives.
