I recently lost my door key card for the fire department on a chimney fire. We searched all over the place and couldn’t find my card. Assuming I had lost it on scene I called the person in charge of the door cards to tell them I had lost mine and needed a new one. That was until I had a letter addressed to me on the desk in the office, I opened it up and there sat my card with a note saying ” first off I would like to THANK YOU, and the firefighters of your department for all your help when You came to my house during a chimney fire! You are all awesome! My daughter found your card in our yard, I figured you needed it. Thanks again for all you do!” I know it probably doesn’t seem like that big of a deal to most people but I was touched, she didn’t have to bring my card back, or write that note along with it. It was truly one of those moments that makes you feel good about what you do. Im not one who likes the “thank you”s or the praise from the public, I feel I’m just doing my job, what I’ve been called to do. No need to thank me. But that letter came to me at a time during a lot of change and stress going on with in the department itself and it was exactly what I needed to put things back into perspective. So thanks again for making my day!
