[release]A volunteer firefighter's body has been found in the charred ruins of a southeast Texas egg plant.
The first report of the fire came in about 9:30 p.m. Saturday from the Maxim Production Co. just outside Boling-Iago, about 50 miles southwest of Houston. About 15 minutes later, three firefighters reported that they'd become trapped by falling debris in the burning 25,000-square-foot production building. Just two of the three were rescued.
Fire officials identified the dead firefighter as 30-year-old Capt. Thomas Araguz III. Deputy State Fire Marshal Jay Evans says Araguz was a married father of two children and an 11-year veteran of the Wharton Volunteer Fire Department, one of 31 departments that fought the blaze.
Evans says the fire destroyed the production building and main office, but the brood house loaded with laying hens was saved.

This is eggs-actly why firefighters have such a tough job.
He must've cracked under the pressure.
But puns aside, that's really sad :smith:
Fuck, Texas is getting pretty depressing
Sounds like he boiled up to perfection of becoming a hero.
God damnit Texas do something good.
I guess you could say he got hard-boiled.
I'm eggstremely glad that his eggsemplary performance prevented this fire from hatching into a national crisis.
I hope he have a nice afterlife in heaven. (on the sunny side)
I guess you could say he...
No, this is too depressing to make a bad joke about. I'm sorry for his family's loss.
Im dumb hurp
I already eggspected puns as soon as I read the title.
Sounds like his plans got scrambled.
This is far too depressing to make a pun...

The fire poached his career from him.
All of your puns suck dick.
This is just terrible..
Guys come on this isn't funny, stop making yolks I MEANT JOKES, JOKES NOT YOLKS
He died doing what he did, a noble profession
punz r fhun rite guiz? :downs:
I just love how you guys will turn someones death into a pun circle jerk.
People die all the time, as I've said before, what makes this guy so special, fire men die every day, soldiers die every day.
It's just how shit goes.

It's not that fact that people do indeed die, but the fact that people are using ones death as comic material. If it was someone who died doing something weird, like most of the Darwin Award's people, then I might chuckle because it was either their own stupidity, ignorance, etc to the situation that killed them. Here though, the man died doing a job in which he helped people, and how does he get repaid? With egg puns because he just-so-happened to die at an Egg farm.
Deaths are reported every day, people are desensitised to death, we just don't care any more, so we look for circumstances that stick out, here, he died at an egg farm, yeah it's pretty shit he died, but honestly I don't know the guy so I don't particularly give a shit.
:fireman:

You're right, this is nothing to yolk about.
