My son is a first responder and they risk their lives every day. Hats off to all of the hardworking men and women who save lives.❤

Without even being asked by the owners. That's nothing short of being Heroes Above and Beyond

These men are heroes, yet they make pennies to the dollar and sacrifice time with family and their health. Thank you to all the first responders. ❤

Oh my gosh that made me cry. Trying to save anything at all and risking their lives to do it. Thank goodness there’s still good people on the planet.

Their thought process of, "if we can't save the house at least we can save something" is the kind of hope we need right now. Even when everything is burning down around us theres still hope.

Wonder how many of them are loosing their own homes? Thank you to all firefighters and first responders ❤

What thoughtfulness in the midst of loss & chaos!

[skierprincessakify]

Omg, what an absolutely kind thing to do. I’m in tears. These firemen are probably struggling emotionally seeing people lose everything, but also physically exhausted. 😢

Wish our politicians showed as much humanity and compassion as firefighters and first responders instead of being worried about appeasing corporate interests.
