Being a trauma nurse I’ve trained and worked with paramedic firefighters my entire career. Love this tribute, so well done! Currently live in Vegas, thanks for including our crews in your article! 🙏🔥💕

It was like fighting a Hurricane of Fire. That is how one person described it. What a heartbreaking situation. But the stories of responders, neighbors and strangers helping one another is heartfelt. Cooperation leading to hope rising out of this terrible situation renews our faith in each other.

Reed….not sure if you are aware that both my husband, Andy and my son. Evan, are are volunteer firemen out here in Fire Island …no pun intended…and both were down at 9/11 to fight another major catastrophe in the USA. The dedication the men and women of the Fire Department out here is stellar and as you also inferred , apolitical. Evan now lives in CA not too far from the fires raging in the Pacific Palisades…there is no doubt that we should be saddened by the great loss to so many people and also recognize the dedication of the fire fighters and the dangers they face daily to help others.
