i just recently moved to the are form pensacola and ive been trying to get a hold of someone from the lambeth are friendship volunteer fire dept but i have had no luck and im trying to get back into it dose anyone know a better way then calling the stations
Fire can be your best friend or your worse enemy.When used during the right conditions it can be a valuable tool for clearing underbrush, but if used during dry windy days one could easily burn down the ponderosa and no telling what else in a heartbeat.One has to use common sense in times like these.Im glad to know that there was no loss of life or property.Great job as always to the responders for being on the scene quickly.A.W.
