This isn’t an opinion per se, just a recognition of the immense bravery many of our volunteer fire crew members display to support our underfunded and remote areas [“Wildfire service reports on blaze north of Powell River,” July 16].
Earlier this week, a small volunteer fire crew north of town saved our family cabin on Atrevida Road. That cabin holds generations of memories, and because of their bravery and dedication, those memories — and future ones — are still standing.
We know volunteer fire crews do this work not for praise, but out of service to our communities. However, we are profoundly grateful for their service.
Chani Campbell,
Atrevida Road
