Farmers became heroes in wildfire

I want to write to you to hopefully be allowed to show recognition and appreciation to the farmers who saved our homes in the Four Lakes area, specifically around Medifor, Taylor and Medical Lake Four Lakes Roads.

If it was not for these 16 men and their water trucks and disks, our homes out here would not be standing today.

I don’t know all of these men, but I really would like to share with you the men I do know who put their lives in danger to save our properties in the area: Chris Fitzner, his dad, Lucky Fitzner, and Dave Dobbins are just a few.

In this small community, we are very fortuna...
