Donation to Akwesasne Fire Station

This past weekend was full of thick grayish smoldering smoke. Firebugs were out in full force. The marsh by the beach on St. Regis Island and then the North side of Cattle Island were set on fire. With the fury of the East wind the flames quickly spread throughout any thing in its path. On Sunday you could see the billowing smoky clouds miles away. The firemen who risk their lives and are volunteers quickly dispersed these raging fires. Sometimes it is a thankless job but gratifying to these men, a salute goes out to them. Structures were saved and nobody was hurt. These men all have family and their job isn’t the safest. How many people have called the fire department when in a crisis? Whether it is an accident, electrical, house or grass fire these men are there. A monetary donation was given to Tsi Snaihne Fire Department by Casey Jacobs. A cabin on Cattle Island was saved because of the efforts of the fire department. A big thank-you goes out to everyone in all districts of the Akwesasne Fire Departments including your families who support you. Also thanks go out to Harry King and family who always keep an eye out.
