  • That really gives a feeling for the work that just reading can't convey. Thankful for those who will do such hard work!

  • I just want to say a word of praise for my sister, Heidi, who works so hard (and hires helpers) to maintain defensible space around our house. That photo showing the line of firefighters is right below our house. It doesn't mean our house will survive if the fire explodes...but we have a fighting chance.
