Letter to the Editor re: Thank you Firefighters



A BIG THANK YOU!
We wish to convey our heartfelt thanks to all of the CalFire firefighters, fire agencies, volunteer firefighters and everyone else involved from the surrounding communities for their amazing effort, dedication, and their display of professionalism in fighting and controlling the terrible fire that broke out behind our home on pool Station Road last Sunday.
Without the valiant effort put forth by all these individuals the outcome would not have been near as good as it turned out to be.
We would also like to apologize for our neighbors actions in not allowing fire personnel access through their property to the fire.  We are truly baffled by this type behavior!
Too often these dedicated firefighters and volunteers do not receive the positive recognition they so well deserve.  That day these men and women went above and beyond our expectations.
Again, we cannot convey adequately our thanks to all the responding firefighters for their efforts.  You are a very dedicated and devoted group and we are grateful to live in a community served by so many caring individuals.
Our best wishes to all of you for your continued health and safety.
