Commentary by Master Sgt. David Hodge 6th Space Operations Squadron My phone rang as my family and I walked into the grocery store to buy last minute Christmas dinner items on the night of December 22, 2014. Checking my phone I saw it was a blocked number. Though I wasn’t on crew standby for work, I had previously received calls from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration operations center at all hours. It wasn’t typical to receive a blocked call, but I didn’t want to ignore it, so I answered my phone. “Hello?” I asked, as if questioning why this blocked num- ber is calling me. “This is Colorado Springs police. Do you live on Kern Circle?” The male voice asked. “Yes,” I responded. “Is anyone in the house right now?” “No! Why do you ask?” I said a bit puzzled. “I want to make sure everyone is out of your house safely because your house is on fire.” So began the blur that has taken over our family’s life for the last few months. As we all know very well, the Air Force, and military in general, spends a lot of time training and preparing for the worst case. Planning how to handle everything from a trash can fire, a bomb threat or a base attack. Yet, no matter how much we plan, practice and pre- pare, nothing will ever fully prepare you for a house fire.

No ifs, no buts, no nothing.” Clearly the whole event. The hardest part wasn’t seeing the fire- anything we could possibly need.
