understand what fire fighters mean to a community. They save our homes, our
lands and our towns and our livelihoods. They come from all over the nation
to work to save lives and homes in places they'd never even heard of till
the fire brought them there. They are hard working men and women who
willingly place themselves in harms way; routinely risking their own lives.
They wear many different uniforms as fire fighters and I for one never care
what agency's name is on their shoulder or caps. They are to be treated
with admiration and respect at all times. They are true saviors and heroes.
May the families, friends and fire community bear their grief as best they
can.  May you know you are not alone.
