LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Don't ever stop publishing Random Thoughts by Tom Brennan in your magazine. His articles are fantastic. I’ve been a member of a paid fire department for 10 years and look forward to his articles every month. I’ll never see the fires he has seen in his career, so I must study and learn not only from my peers and mistakes but from people like Brennan who have the experience and desire to share their experiences.
