Wow!!! 🤯 Great article and amazing videos. It really is remarkable, over and over, what firefighters do, and especially volunteers. And why on earth do we not pay them to do it??!!

It takes special people to do this work and we are very grateful for each and every one of them!!

Grateful to all of our local folks who see and feel the value of authentic service when it's needed, and then make it happen. Petrolia Fire does it again and again. Bravo!
