A Valuable Asset To Your Community It is in the relationships with other fire fighters that a great part of the joy of being a firefighter is found. We as firefighters do not claim to be a special kind of people. But we do believe that we are fortunate indeed to work in a very special vocation. When we became firefighters, we consciously chose a life of service and sacrifice. Our work is not concerned with amassing great wealth or obtaining dividends or personal glory - our work is saving lives. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! |
