To the Editor:
I would like to congratulate the Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department for a job well done on the two fires, in downtown Keremeos, this past weekend. Working at below zero weather and at night, the conditions could not have been much worse.
I am quite sure all the firefighters went home after these fires, tired and probably wet, but with pride in what they have accomplished on these two fire scenes.
The community should be most grateful having these dedicated firefighters working for our best interest.
Firefighting has become much more complex and society is more demanding in their expectations of the fire service.
Thanks to all of the firefighters!
Yours in firefighting,
Walter Despot,(40 years service) Keremeos
