  • Judy Olson My family and I have walked this journey and it's one of the toughest battles to go through. My husband was an assistant fire chief killed in the line of duty by an arsonist set fire. I send my prayers to this firefighters family and fire department. God will stand beside each of you just as he did our family.

  • Rich Charles Communities aren't what they used to be. Safety among the masses has diminished. There was a time when the local fire house was a good place to talk to firemen. Or learn more about fire safety and equipment. Now they can't trust kids who come around, in fear of someone getting hurt or touching things they are told not to.

  • W Geoffrey Miller Good luck with standardized training levels in the very traditional northeast part of the country... In a region which is typically "home rule", fire and emergency services often times are forced to beg and borrow to sustain their own existence. Until such time comes that municipal/county/state governments are willing to financially support these services, this issue will exist.
