Then the evening of Aug. 18, the family’s security camera caught the fire across the street from their home, and firefighters arrived and battled the fire. “To hear that the efforts are actually paying off and the grateful appreciation that another community gives back to our department for taking that risk of sending resources out of our community and it does pay off and it makes us feel good about those decisions that we make.”
