[TowerTalk] Historic Propane Disastor in my Hometown (OT)

[Dave Fuller]

I was 13 years old when this event occurred (1973)......... In 74 I got 
my first ham license.

At age 33 I became a firefighter for Kingman Fire Dept.  Several of the 
Firefighters I worked with were the sons of those killed in this explosion.

The current Chief of Kingman Fire Dept was a new volunteer in 1973 and 
was 18 years old.   He never forgot what he witnessed that day and 
became an oustanding leader of safe firefighting operations for Kingman 
Fire Department.  It was a wonderful experience to work under his 
leadership..... one of the best things I have done in my life.
