Hero - any person admired for their qualities or achievements and regarded as ideal or
model. A person regarded for their courage
and nobility.
As emergency responders, our daily duties put us in harm's way and cause us to have to
constantly care for people during their darkest hour. This is a duty that we volunteered to answer and are proud to
perform. We often face great dangers with the knowledge that any day could be our last. Despite that possibility, we provide
our services with dedication, devotion and pride.
Unfortunately, the dangers of our jobs become a difficult
reminder when we lose one of these brave rescuers. Sadly, we have lost several members of our own family that have given their
all and answered their final alarm. It is with the deepest of regrets, and the heaviest of hearts, that we announce the passing
of several of our colleagues. We are forever grateful for their service.
