Having lived in the country or small towns I can appreciate the Volunteer Fire Department and always gave generously and attended and cooked for all events they had to raise money. And you're right about the families too. My son was one until they moved to the city. Unsung heroes and heroines for sure! Congratulations to all involved!Sam I Am......https://www.blogger.com/profile/17358633233189452832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-66740996697593179812013-02-20T08:23:15.120-06:002013-02-20T08:23:15.120-06:00Mostly unsung heroes.

There is something about the allure of danger that seems to attract some men. My step-FIL volunteered up until his late 70's. In the last years his duty was to put a blue light on his car and direct traffic. Something that was important and made him feel good.Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-28222866703777962552013-02-17T07:31:09.771-06:002013-02-17T07:31:09.771-06:00We have volunteer fire departments here as well an...We have volunteer fire departments here as well and they are all brave and well appreciated for all they do !
