Thank You

We had to add one more place to our list of Christmas Cookie

deliveries this year...the Fire Department!

Only one of the firemen that came to our house was still working at our fire department, the others have been transferred to different locations.  But I was so glad he was the one still there.  He was my favorite!  He was the one that busted through our gate while Logan and I watched.  He was the one that came over to me when he could tell how sad I was and gave me a hug.  He told me that I had a beautiful home and was so sorry for what had happened.  He could not have been sweeter to me.

 

As we gave them cookies and a thank you note he told us he could still remember my face and how sorry he felt for me.  Then he wanted to show us a picture on their wall.  The firemen came back a few hours after the fire looking for some tools they had lost while they were at our house.  I remember seeing one of them take a picture of our flag. 

 

They framed the picture and put a little plaque underneath it.

I cut off the plaque in the picture for the blog because they put our address on it, but this is what it says...

 

Incident Type:  Working Garage Fire

Incident Location:  (our address)

Incident Number:  (don't think I 'll put that either :))

 

E88 ARRIVED ON SCENE TO FIND A WELL INVOLVED GARAGE ON FIRE.  THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED WITHOUT DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE RESIDENCE.

 

THE AMERICAN FLAG WAS DAMAGED PRIOR TO THE ARRIVAL OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND WAVERED BEAUTIFULLY REGARDLESS OF THE HEAT IT SUSTAINED.

 

With our thank you note we gave them a picture of our family in front of the flag.

He said they would frame it and put it next to the picture they have of our flag.

 

We can never thank them enough for saving our home.

It was a nice way to end this whole experience!
