Heroes Remembered


Today the Department asked Liam to give one of his highly sought motivational speeches. Nine years ago to the day they were fighting-off the Cerro Grande wildland fire. The following day, the entire townsite of LA evacuated. No one knew the utter devastation, the losses, the death toll that was yet to come within days. Because of the bravery and skill of our firemen and those of surrounding communities, we lost no human lives and limited residential destruction to just 239 homes.
