It is amazing how far our fire service has come since, say, the 1950s.
The story Rich Hill firefighters told me about cutting holes into a house and filling it with water to put a fire out still brings a smile to my face.
Now, firefighters learn the science of fire in their intensive courses they must take in order to go inside a building and battle the flames.
But what really gets me about these men, and women, is their care and concern they have for their communities.
