All of you are heroes.

I have a great respect for firefighters…

[@jaybae7315]

Wow. Perhaps there needs to be a new policy in how fires are addressed because it seems like there are flaws in the current way of doin things. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@anniesue4456]

So sorry.

Praying for you brother 🙏🚒

This still bothers me. I am a firefighter myself ..I'm from Baltimore, but I do not work for the department. I still keep you all in my prayers and thoughts Stay strong, McMaster.

Most firefighters volunteer. They don’t get paid. That’s a different kind of calling
