On July 27, I was on Yale Road doing typical day-to-day errands when a Chilliwack Fire Department truck approached with siren blaring, horn blaring and lights on travelling at an emergency rate of speed.

Thankfully, traffic pulled aside in order to give right of way.

We are so fortunate to have these people who race to suppress this imminent danger on our behalf that threatens our community and personal well being.

Their effort to keep us and this community safe at this perilous time is amazing and is immensely appreciated.

Once again, thank you.

Rick Cregg
