What about the kid that was severley burnt and the 3 others that were hurt in the wreck on grove level road. If it wasnt for a resigned vol FF pulling those kids from that car they would have died. And he suffered 1st and 2nd degree burns doing it !!!!!!!

Apparently they don't want anyone to know about that accident...as well as many others.This one only made the papers because a 18 yr old was driving.

When my daughter began driving with "Parents" in the car, a car of two 20 yr olds pulled out of DQ going so fast they landed on the windsheild..pinning my daughter in the car. My husband arrived at the scene (several minutes later) & the "deputy" was just standing there with his hands in his pockets "talking" to the girls in the other car..yet my daughter was still stuck in ours.. Yep well thats BC always has been always will be...
