William.

Not my photo but wanted to post this shot of my grandson William doing his fire training in New Zealand.
Most of the fire fighters there are volunteers & combine fire fighting with their every day jobs.

We are very proud of him & he is only 20 years old.

Pat, I should be proud too - only 20 years old and doing such an important job.

Well done William! A difficult job. I have a niece in America who is a fire fighter. They are very brave people.

What a wonderful service!!! We have a volunteer fire department, they are my neighbors and friends and I feel so blessed knowing they are willing to get all the training and give of so much of their time and talents to make sure we are safe and protected. Blessings on him and his cohorts as they choose this service...may they always be protected and be blessings to others.
