Last night we had the privilege to attend the LA Fire Hero’s Awards. It was Spectacular. The people that were honored, the videos of heroism, the speakers, the venue, the music was all amazing. CalFire Honor Guard, as always were outstanding. The agencies that received the awards were well deserved. And although none of them see themselves as Hero’s, they all are. Everyday. So this award received by CalFire, is for all of you who answered the call. Either for response to the LA fires or to cover behind those who went. You were honored in an amazing way.
