Letter to the Editor

Firemen thanked

Thursday, March 19, 2009

Dear editor:

This past Friday morning we had a terrible fire on our property.

We want to thank two of our neighbors who saw the blaze and quickly called 911.

The Mountain Home Fire Department's response was amazingly quick.

Our large shop and garage were burned, destroying all of our vehicles, shop items and stored items.

If not for the action of the Fire Department, the fire could easily have spread to our home, and destroyed it as well.

We are so grateful for your hard work and dedication.

Thank you, too, to those who were able to save most of our photo albums that were stored in the burned buildings. To have those pictures means everything to us.

We appreciate each and every one of you for working so long and hard under such dangerous conditions, willingly exposing yourselves to extreme personal risk in order to help us. We will always be grateful.

Robin and Cheryl Hicks
