This reminds me of my wedding night!


This has been floating around the web for a while, but it always makes me smile.

1. We need all the smiles we can get.

2. My son is starting his EMT class so he can become a firefighter.

My nephew is a firefighter and paramedic. I am so proud of him and applaud those who choose a life of service.

Nanton Fire Fighter's Heroism Becomes Symbol Of Flood

Written by Brent Manke Monday, Jul 01 2013, 12:00 AM

Nanton Fire Fighter Shawn Weibe, like all the emergency responders, did his job and did it well during the High River floods.

[...]

"We got staged down at 12th Avenue and 1st Street, right by Farmway and CO-OP, trying to keep people from heading west into the water. And then I looked north down 1st Street and saw water coming. And within an hour CO-OP was flooded and we were trapped there. Another one of my firefighters that works with me, I sent him across the road to get a combine, and there were two other guys there as well, so we had three going. So, over 100 people we rescued from CO-OP and drove to the 12th Avenue boat launch."

[...]

"it's been very busy, but I've been keeping in touch with the woman's daughter. Eventually we'll get reunited. It's what she said that got me smiling. She said the last time that she was carried like that was on her wedding night. So, it just got my grin on and the rest is history.

Weibe says a couple of prints of the photo have been sold at auction already with the proceeds going to help flood victims.
