All of us at Stemley send our deepest respect and sympathies to all the firefighters at Houston Fire Department. No one can ever decrease the sorrow we all fell each time one of our own gives thier all for the cause. We can only take heart in knowing that our comrades gave truely of themselves just by being firefighters, that they died doing what they loved. It does not make it easier, just more understood. We all make the same commitment when we answer the call, never knowing, but always willing. This is what makes us the proudest, most caring profession there is. I am a Texas A&M grad '84 and I feel especially connected to the great city of Houston. Know that our prayers, thoughts and wishes go out to every man, woman and child in the city because they have truely lost two of the best. Our prayers and thoughts are also deeply centered on the families of these two brave firefighters, for they have also given thier best to the cause.

To all my fellow FireFighters around the world:

I am the Captain at Station 76 in Houston and my crew made the tragic fire at Mcdonald's. I just wanted to tell you all that your words of support are very helpful and much appreciated in this unimaginably difficult time for us. We will get better day by day and hopefully will learn something from this horror that will help all of us in the future. Thanks again.
