Today is your day Boomer! You know those firefighters who are out there every day protecting us? Working in extremely dangerous conditions, high heat, toppling burnt trees, swirling winds, and thick cloud: they sleep in tents and have to use porta-potties. I feel for them, but most of the hotel/motel rooms in many BC communities are already filled with fire evacuees and lingering summer tourists. These poor, hard-working people.....what they wouldn't give for a nice big, comfortable bed and air conditioning. I admire their stamina, courage, and determination as they battle continuous fires around us day after day! And they just get one under control, and another fire starts up usually for some dumb, human-caused reason like a discarded cigarette. Or they make great progress in one day and the wind comes up in the late afternoon and makes the whole thing even worse....again. It must be so frustrating. But we, Boomers, want to thank you and say keep your collective chins up. You help keep us safe in a very difficult time. Cheers to you.
