My heroes!

Early in April, we had the opportunity to watch a training burn for Township 7 Fire Dept, along with several other fire departments around the New Bern area. Both of my brothers are volunteer fire fighters. I know I'm partial because I'm the big sister, but these guys really are heroes in my book! Even as volunteers, they are there 24/7 to help the citizens of Township 7, which is the James City/Brices Creek area. They are right there in burning houses, brush fires, removing victims from car wrecks, and many, many other duties. It is a dirty, hot, dangerous, and sometimes even thankless job. But they do it willingly and without a second thought. And I couldn't be more proud!
