Our local volunteer firefighters are true heroes.

They’re people like you and me. They work to put food on the table for their families. They play social tennis on Sunday afternoon.

Except they didn’t yesterday.

Instead, they put their lives on the line to protect their friends and their neighbours and people they’ve never met.

Let’s pause for a moment and say thanks to these men and women.

Their spirit is what makes this city, this state and this country so great.
