“I was the fire fighter that had to be dug out of the debris, this is my story.
I was off the day of the fire, but there was a callback for off duty personnel so I went. I was standing right in front of Les Rendezvous when it exploded….”
And so begins the narrative of Firefighter Tony Jakino, Durango Fire Department. Tony never lost consciousness and he tells a gripping story of the experience of being suddenly buried under a brick wall, the surprise, the pains, his thoughts.
His story is told in full on the AccessDurango website HERE.
AccessDurango is one of those lovely community websites that are provided by and for the residents to keep up with what’s going on. Naturally, Friday’s major downtown blaze is the focus of attention in the town now.
Along with the first-person stories such as Tony’s, they are publishing a lot of the citizens’ candid photographs of the fire and what’s going on in the days directly after.
Mary Middlebrook of AccessDurango, who sent us the links, tells us that they will be adding more articles and photos as they come in. So be sure to check back with them every now and then HERE.
