Firefighters were fabulous

Dear Editor:

There is no way we could extend our thanks to the fabulous firefighters, law enforcement officers and other volunteers except through your newspaper.

It is with grateful hearts to God and each of them that we all still have our homes in Cedaredge after the terrible fire on Friday.

An off-duty police officer and his wife started pounding on doors, running throughout the neighborhood on Timothy Road before help arrived, warning us of the fire.

In just less than six hours the fire was extinguished except for hot spots that were under surveillance the remainder of the evening.

We also want to thank the inmates from Rifle for their professional help.

There were prayer chains all over the United States praying for their safety and for each of us involved for which we sincerely express our thanks. God certainly heard and answered those prayers.

Again, please accept our thanks which I'm sure represents all of our neighbors. You were, and are, in our prayers.

Gary and Betty Avis

Cedaredge
