Thank Your Volunteer Firefighters


"Morning Bernie, I don't think anyone of us can appreciate the dedication and training involved with our firemen until that individual has lived through a fire. Our volunteers are non paid professionals. God bless them all." - Carol Cuono.

A fixture in Slate Belt politics, Carol Cuono makes a point that I neglected to mention yesterday.

Volunteer firefighters battled the Nicos Polymer blaze all day yesterday, starting at 5 AM. That includes the men and women of Nancy Run Volunteer Fire Company.

After spending a day risking their lives in a community miles from Bethlehem Township, these volunteers spent the evening handing out fire hats to kids at National Night Out, and their equipment still looked brand new.

Thank you volunteers. Thinking of those who would get out of bed on a cold night to try to save my family and property is overwhelming.


Also agree with OT 2:41. Why isn't anyone calling for Joe Brennan's resignation?

It;s amazing to me that in a post dedicate to people who thanklessly risk our lives for us, two selfish people would rather anonymously snark Joe Brennan. You can do that on Keystone Politics.

Couno Bernie..not Coumo. She's the former mayor of Bangor. Job well done by all who helped contain the inferno.

Today is my day for screwing up names. I'll correct that error at once, and thank you for pointing it out, Dave.

Is that Angle in the blue shirt? If it is he lost weight!

Bernie O'Hare said...

That's not Ron, but he does look like him from behind. Ron is in Tartola, taking a well-deserved holiday with his wife.

Why is Angle in this picture? He doesn't know what a volunteer is. And don't say it ain't him Bernard.

Bernie O'Hare said...

It is not Angle. You seem to have some unhealthy obsession.

Hats off to the dedicated fire volunteers.
P.S. A belt and suspenders - isn't that a corpulent angle trademark? - very fetching. Are you sure he's not back from dry tortuga?

He returned late Thursday night. That is not Ron, although he looks like him from the rear.
