Thank to Neighbours and Fire Department

The O'Brien family | Aug 17, 2016

On August 9, smoke was spotted rising up from the north east corner of our property on O'Reilly Lake by our neighbors, Brian Roberts and Jimmy Delyea. After a quick investigation of the scene they called fire department, who arrived in record time to our location. The fire fighters worked diligently and had the fire under control in short fashion. They continued to patrol the entire area to make sure that all hot spots were addressed. The fire chief as well as the fire fighters were very informative and reassuring. As a property owner it was nothing short of a relief to see how quickly and professionally the situation was handled.

As frightening a situation as it is to receive a call that your property is on fire, it was equally as heartwarming to see how quickly people banded together to help out. From start to finish our friends and neighbors were there to provide any support that they could. Our volunteer firefighters risk their safety to do this thankless task out of the kindness of their heart and for that much we are very thankful and appreciative.

We are very grateful to be part of a community that is looking out for your best interests even when you are not around. If it wasn’t for the quick thinking and actions of our friends and neighbors, and of course the fire department, we may have lost everything. And a far grimmer story of this event may have taken the place of this simple letter of thanks.

Many thanks again to the fire department, Brian Roberts, and Jimmy Delyea for their quick response in dealing with this situation.
