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
