Firefighters are often the least respected and honored members of society, yet their service is truly selfless and heroic. They give of themselves in order to protect residents from devastating fires, putting their own lives at risk. These courageous people have families of their own; yet they work to ensure the safety of their community, frequently sustaining injuries and worse. Such is the case with these amazing public servants throughout the western United States.

These brave public servants are on hand to do their duty for hours on end, ready to jump in an instant when summoned. Without the professionalism of our firefighters of the West, urgently racing to serve and protect in dousing out these fires, the community and residents would be in danger.

Dangerous Fires & Threats to Firefighters
