A word of recognition for the men and women fighting the Boteler Creek fire in western NC: Thank you to all of these wonderful people, that have come from all over the US and Puerto Rico. I've had the opportunity to meet several of these folks and they are true heroes in every sense. Many of these firefighters were supposed to rotate home last week, but instead of being with their families for the holidays, they remain here protecting OUR families and property. Some of the firefighters at the Lake Lure fire are reportedly sleeping in their vehicles (it's cold y'all!) after working 10-16 hours. Above and beyond what anyone expects of these fantastic people! Thank you, from all of us mountain folk! You are the best.
