Just before Christmas in an apartment protected by three working smoke detectors, this family never got out. In fact, this family never even knew there was a fire until it was too late. The only person able to get out was only able to by chance. Of all the things this individual said after the fire, most disturbing was the lack of any smoke alarms sounding. An apartment full of toxic smoke with working smoke alarms and yet they all remained silent. That morning was filled with devastation, triumph, acts of incredible heroism and bravery, an injured firefighter and four others almost making the ultimate sacrifice. Everyone who was there had their own lives torn apart and will never be the same again. This fire rocked our community to its core and yet it’s a scenario that is played out all over the world. In the months that followed this fire, we learned why the smoke alarms didn’t sound. We also learned why smoke alarms all over the world will not sound today, leaving all the occupants in extreme danger should their home burn. This is not only a story about some of the greatest men and women on the face of this earth, but a tribute to the victims from that morning. Inside, you will learn what they didn’t know so that you can protect your family from the risk of fire. At the end of the day, these people will have died so that you may live.

Download or read book An Appalachian Odyssey written by Russ Walkup and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-03-07 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a tribute to my parents who instilled in me a strong will to succeed. The emphasis was on hard work and honesty. There was little money available but that made little difference to the boys in Keiffer Holler. Most of the time we were busy working and our leisure time was spent in the beautiful mountains and fishing. Until I was a junior in high school I thought a log cabin in the rural hills of Greenbrier County, a job in a union mine and a four wheel drive vehicle would mean the perfect life. vehicle would mean the perfect life. My story deals with the many twists and turns of leaving the mountains of Appalachia. Some are sad and some are hilarious. The cultural differences I encountered could be compared to Homers account of the Greek, Odysseus. My experiences could never measure up to the Cyclops but there were many challenges along the way. The strong values I gained during my formative years in Appalachia were a major factor guiding me to success throughout my first 76 years of life.
