Last night I was honored to attend the Fern Creek (KY) Fire & EMS Firefighter Memorial. A heartwarming tribute to those who sacrificed so much, and a powerful reminder of our responsibility to remember them and care for the families they left behind.
To our Fern Creek brothers and sisters, thank you for keeping their memories alive. Never forgetting means never forgetting!
My wife and I have been watching Mike Rowe’s show “People You Should Know” on Angel Studios. There are some absolutely amazing people in this country!!! Absolutely incredible!!

Please move over... For first responders, for tow trucks, for construction workers, for everyone.
Move over for 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐎𝐍𝐄 – All vehicles, no matter what, every time.
Move over and slow down. It's not only the law, but it could also save a life.

This brief video captures Stockton Firefighters arriving to a detached garage fire. Crews work fast to stop the working fire from extending to other structures. Our firefighters saved life and property through effort, tenacity, and preparation. We are proud to serve Stockton, CA.
