Please remember the sacrifices that these professionals and their families are making the next time there is a story about all the "overtime" that they are making.

Our community has the best trained and most experienced disaster professionals in the Nation because they are always willing to go wherever they are needed, whenever they are needed.

Thank you California Task Force 3 and MPFPD!
