Faces of Fire: Firefighter
Shane Daughetee died in fire at home built with engineered wood
On January 26, 2007, Jim and Linda Daughetee experienced a parent's worst nightmare when their only son Shane, a 24-year-old volunteer firefighter, died at a home fire after falling through the floor which was supported by engineered wooden I-beams. Without warning, the floor collapsed sending him into the basement. Crews attempted to rescue him from the fully involved basement, but a subsequent collapse of the main floor ceased further rescue efforts. Lt. Elliot Mahaffey suffered burn injuries in his attempt to save him.

Firefighter's Wife Needs Your Help!![]()
Matt Frezza has been a volunteer fire fighter for at least five years and comes from a family of fire fighters. He was the lead fire fighter on the crew in DTVFD and is a dedicated family man. All extremely good folks. He and Christina have been married 11 years this September.
She has lung cancer in her right lung which had resulted in removal of a large portion of it and is currently going through radiation as a precautionary measure in case the mass removed wasn't sufficient. He is working in lawn care and with the healthcare reforms their end costs have left them deeply in debt.

I went for assistance and told workers at Old Town Dodge City....they said they would look into the situations.…
