You may not know him if you saw him sitting at a Petaluma sidewalk cafe near his home. That’s because he is more well known specifically to the military community. Maximilian Uriarte was recently featured in an article by Saul Elbein in the Men’s Journal, “The Marine Corp’s Graphic Novel Hero”. His creation ‘Terminal Lance’ has become a (an adult-audience) comic book hero and a Marine Corps institution.

Terminal Lance is a slang term for a Marine who won’t advance beyond the lowest rank of lance corporal. When Max served his two tours in Iraq in the Marine Infantry, he was expecting action and firefights. However he found just the opposite. It was mostly trying to overcome the boredom. So he leveraged this into a satirical comic of US Marine Corp life that he would launch in 2010 while on base in Hawaii.

2 Elderly Ladies Save 87 y.o. Wheelchair Bound Woman From Fire

Yesterday evening Petaluma360.com YouTube Channel published this video and related article“Fire causes extensive damage to Petaluma home [on Melvin Street] w/video”. In this video Petaluma Fire Department Battalion Chief tells what happened.

In the article one of the victims said, “We all fell to the floor trying to move her, but we did it,” who added that they were surprised at how fast the fire started.

Fortunately the Fire Dept. was just a few blocks away when the fire started and were there almost immediately, and all parties were not hurt. Unfortunately the house has major damage.

What a courageous effort by the two ladies to act quickly enough and together to drug the 87 y.o. woman out of the house, and the third acting quickly to run out of the home to call 911.

Fortunately they were no injuries to people or the fireman. Kudos for our Petaluma Fire Department for responding quickly to extinguish this fire before causing any more damage to neighboring homes and people.
