Dear fire fighter very cool story - indeed too bad about the loss of the metal and travel belongings - awesome about how your colleague spoke local radio stations and amazing things happened - indeed - well done and hats off to that first responder -- anyone who has had occasion to be in the arms of first responders knows they are worth their weight in gold - me several times - once by highly trained High Angle /Mine Rescue at the tar sands ops in ft mc - several times as the result of different MVA - i have also participated as an untrained civilian during some activities which should not have been on the program -- emergencies rarely are - Fire fighters who arrive are 9 times out of 7 acting selflessly and with a substance that can only be qualified as hero ++ always ask creator to be on active for them when i hear the call to action or the siren surging down the road ... regards
