Wednesday afternoon a fire broke out at Eastern Guilford Highschool just east of Greensboro NC. Taylor Chambers 17 a senior there and a volunteer firefighter thought it was just a drill. When he realized it was real I understand he put on his gear and came back to help fight the fire. According to the news story his teachers and principal were begging him to stay away because it was too dangerous. Tayler wouldnt listen and insisted on helping and went to help do what he could do. The news showed a concerned but very proud mom and dad watching on. Unfortunatly Tayler and his fellow firefighters lost their battle.
The fire was too big and spread so fast the school was destroyed, but its dedication and effort of youg men like this that I applaud. We hear so many stories of kids gone wrong I wanted to tell you all of one good one. The good news is all the students and staff got out of the building safe.
I tip my hat to this young man and to any and all firefighters we may have on this board.
