I congratulate these folks who have given so much to their local communities. I admire those people who still are willing to volunteer their time and skills for the good of their neighbors.

Too bad they still haven't earned the respect of Professional Firefighters. Imagine thinking that somehow a volunteer threatens the job of a fulltime, professional firefighter? Chester

The passion and professionalisim these people have in what they do is inspiring also. Its too bad our govt doesnt step up to the plate and start paying these people for the demanding service they do.
