Thanks To The Fire Department

To the Editor: Thank you to the fire department and especially to all the firemen that came to our cabin Friday evening. We are people who believe “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This year, however, and perhaps like others in our age group, we are on overload caring for aging parents and life in general. We did not place the fire mittens or fireplace implements close at hand. So when a gust of wind, downdraft, or we inadvertently moved the damper to the wrong position, the cabin filled so rapidly with smoke we could not find these things quickly enough.We left the cabin and called the department. The firemen arrived in minutes, saw the situation, resolved the problem and exhausted the smoke.The firemen checked that everything
was alright and we had no fear of continuing our evening, or sleeping through the night. These firemen were professional, polite and kind. It was impressive how they could be in our small camp with all the boots, helmets, and equipment disturbing nothing and not even soot marks left anywhere. The medical person was also reassuring,staying to make sure we were as okay as we reported.
So thanks again to all.
