Feds Visit, and are Family

Posted on by Fredrik Bodin
A surprise visit today by David Crary, Jr. from Eastham, MA. "Davey" is the Fire Management Officer for the Cape Cod National Seashore, and has duties in many other areas, including fighting wildfires in various areas of the United States. I consider him a friend, and sometimes call him "brother." He's Janet's real brother. Asked what he's been up to, and why he's here in Gloucester, he nonchalantly replied: "Going to a NPS meeting in Portland, but I've been in Idaho helping put out a wildfire." Makes you think about the men and women who put their lives on the line to combat fires around the country. It's physical, stressful, and dangerous work. Smoke inhalation alone can ruin more than your day, if you're lucky. Thank you.

David Crary took this photo of his fire crew marching with their fire fighting tools and survival gear to do battle at the Incendiary Creek Fire in Idaho. If not careful, some of these brave professionals firefighters could suffer serious injury or worse.
