To the first responders who answered the call without hesitation, your bravery and commitment shine brightly. The unwavering dedication of the Deer Lake Fire Rescue volunteer fire department, alongside the teams from Cormack, Reidville, and Pasadena, exemplifies the strength of a collective spirit. They all came together in a time of crisis, showing remarkable courage and teamwork.
