As the rains finally arrive, bringing relief to the parched landscapes and marking the end of another grueling fire season, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your unwavering dedication, courage, and resilience. Through relentless heat, challenging terrain, and countless long hours, you stood strong, protecting lives, homes, and communities.
Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed, nor do the countless days spent away from your loved ones to keep others safe. You are the guardians of our forests, homes, and hearts, and for that, we are deeply grateful.
Now, as the season draws to a close, it’s time for you to rest and recharge. May the warmth of this Thanksgiving bring you peace, joy, and the company of those who matter most to you. You’ve more than earned this moment of respite.
Thank you for your service, your bravery, and your relentless spirit. Wishing you a peaceful and well-deserved Thanksgiving holiday.
