When I saw this article in the news today it really got to me. A 22- year- old young man was shot today when responding to a truck fire in a suburban area outside St. Louis. When he gets out of the firetruck a gunman opens fire and fatally struck Ryan Hummert and hitting two others including a police officer.

This is such a tragedy. This young man finished Fire Academy in March. He was dedicating himself to help others and this is  what one sick person did when he responded to put the fire out in his truck.

Our dedicated firefighters, EMTs, Police officers and Paramedics allow us to have a sense of safety knowing help is a phone call away. My hat is off to all of those heroes out there.
