Excitement is in the Air!

This is the time of year to enjoy our friends and families and to celebrate the season. We have visited many stations this week and it is obvious there is much more to celebrate this year. The days of anger, mistrust and grief have been replaced with enthusiasm, optimism and hope. Chief Carr is at the helm of a department filled with renewed spirits and attitudes. While the Chief has provided the catalyst for this change, each of you is contributing your part to truly making this a great organization. Our Team is constantly amazed at your resilience and determination to overcome the loss of the Charleston 9 and to move this department forward. We have witnessed your work, both in training and on the fire ground. We have heard you speak and we have listened carefully. While the journey is long, you have all taken ownership in the mission ahead and we are excited for you. I can think of no better way to honor the memories of your fallen brothers.

Stay safe, my friends,

Gerald
