Not many of you know, but i was a Volunteer Fire-Fighter in Oregon, before i moved to Hawaii a few months ago, i was called this morning to be told,
My Fire-Chief passed away last night.
He was a pillar of his community, and a driving force to many people, he took a homeless girl trying to survive, into his home, and the fire department. Without this man, i would no doubt, be in a gutter somewhere, strung out on drugs and Gods know what else. In short, a Great Man died last night a True hero, our fire department, through his guidance and training had the fastest response time to fires, and the BEST record of lives saved, property saved, and the lowest Fire-Fighting related injuries of the three volunteer departments.
I might not be very active for a while.. and hopefully, will be able to make it to Oregon, to his memorial.
