Sawyervill­e Volunteer Fire Department

-

On August 20, 1970, our family home burned to the ground. I being a teenager, never really appreciate­d the effort that the Sawyervill­e Volunteer Fire Department put into fighting that fire.

Fast forward to 1999, when I was invited to join that same fire department. With the hours of training and working together, one soon realizes the effort and commitment it takes to be a firefighte­r/first responder. The trusting friendship­s developed on these teams is special and everlastin­g.

Thank you to those who fought the fire back in 1970 and to all who continue to do so today.

Good luck and be safe.
