I felt inclined to write this letter in support of all firefighters, neighbors and surrounding communities after the horrible fire that took two lives in Orange. We must all realize that all firefighters are trained and drilled with regard to firefighter protocol and while all of us can’t even begin to realize the extent of fire and how destructive it is, I ask you all to take a moment, step aside, and bow your heads. Let’s all focus on helping the community now and giving the support where it is needed. Value life as we are a group of individuals who should all come together in crisis.
I leave you with this quote, “I shall pass this way but once; any good that I can do or any kindness I can show to any human being; let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” – Etienne De Grellet.
