OUR FIREFIGHTERS
The horrendous events of September 11, 2001, called
real attention to the extraordinary work fire fighters/ paramedics do every
day. Prior to 9/11, we took for granted a telephone call would "bring the
firemen to put out the fire", or "get the cat out of a tree". Now, people
look at you differently. Sure, you still put out fires, but often from
INSIDE a burning building, or instead of rescuing cats from trees, you
often rescue humans and pets from INSIDE the burning buildings. We look at
the efforts of your day-in, day-out tasks with a mix of respect, awe,
compassion and humility. Thank you for being a simple phone call
away.
We would like to offer a token of thanks, albeit small, to you heroes. Our class fees are
reduced to $60.00 for all full time professional fire fighters employed by
a municipal, state or federal government.
