BAYTOWN FIREFIGHTER Bill Domask displays a firefighting
helmet he was wearing when he helped rescue a 5-year-old child from a
burning bouse. Domask took all of the precautions possible before
entering the house and still he suffered some burns. The heat was so in-
tense in the house that it buckled the helmet. Firefighters want
children and adults to realize Just how dangerous fire can be and to
know the safety precautions necessary to survive a blaze.
