Anniv of the past

In the coming week we will have 2 remembrances. The first as I have pointed out is the Anniversary of the first firepole being installed 128 years ago (April 21 1878) and the anniversary of the Texas City Texas explosion killing 26 firefighters on April 28 1947 (59 years). Take a moment and reflect on these events. The firepole in a way has impacted all of us from the observations at the firehouse or from the citizens. The other is a tragic loss of firefighter lives. These folks paved the way and gave all for the job.
