Twenty seven years ago in my second month on the job, we buried nine brothers
killed in the Vendome fire. Each year the toll rises. Each year the tears
flow. Our prayers and thoughts will forever be with our brothers and their
families. Please bless with your protecting hand their children and their
wives.

Please accept our sincere sympathy at this time of great tragedy.

I did not know any of the Brave Firefighters who gave their ultimate sacrifice. However, I feel such a deep sadness, as if they were part of my family.

Then I realized that they are, because they would be by my side with no questions asked if ever I was in need of their help. They will always be remembered and be in our prayers.
