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.
