We (Scott and Barb Pechous) just wanted to give a shout out to thank all the local volunteer fire departments for their service and dedication. With the extreme heat we were experiencing last week these volunteers didn't hesitate when the whistle blew to put on all their protective gear and jump in the trucks to battle the flames. Pictured above, Wagner Fire Department was out battling two fires last week in over 100 degree weather. Many retired firemen even grabbed some gear and headed out to assist when the need arose. Thanks again to you all, we so appreciate your hard work and dedication. Photo by Scott Pechous
