I'm so proud of Maryland's firefighters, risking their lives to protect others, but we need to protect our protectors with the best equipment training and resources.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Firefighters are essential to the safety and security of our local communities. We owe it to these men and women to provide them with better training and equipment so they can do their jobs more effectively and safely.
What firefighters and people in our military and cops do is separate from what the rest of us do; basically these people say, 'I'm going to protect all these strangers.'
Our firefighters are our last line of defense, baby.
Our nation's military and law enforcement personal work hard to protect us. We must thank them for their continued vigilance. Without their sacrifice we would less capable of protecting our nation.
Anytime I get to help the firefighters, I will. I'm real lucky to be in a position to help.
As the member of a firefighter family myself, supporting the widowed families of rescue workers is an important, personal cause of mine.
Firefighters go where they're needed, sometimes ignoring the dangers even when no one is inside a burning building to be saved.
Firefighters are indispensable foot soldiers here at home.
We are so appreciative of the men and women in uniform who are protecting us, whether in Afghanistan or Iraq or on ships around the world. For our security, they are taking the offensive to the terrorists overseas.
One thing that's great about firefighters: If they don't have the equipment they desperately need, they don't have the help, they don't care. They'll do it on their own.
