Once again, I am in awe of the volunteers in our county. Pritchett, Campo, Springfield, Two Buttes, Vilas and Walsh….your volunteer fire personnel are top notch. You guys never get enough credit, but we’re all thankful for what you do.
In addition to the firefighters, those county workers blading and hauling water are not without mention. Your tireless efforts are also commended.
To the farmers with discs and equipment, I tip my hat. I know the fires fighters love to see you all coming to help too.
The ranchers that were providing gathering assistance, pickups, trailers and moving cattle. You guys rock.
Lastly, the neighboring agencies that joined the fight also. You have left your jobs and families to assist people that you probably don’t even know. That is beyond commendable.
I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else other than right here with all these amazing community members and volunteers!
I need to add one group! Our area linemen! I just met a convoy of SECPA trucks at Springfield, lights flashing, headed south!
