Have you ever spoken at length to the young people who man our fire stations here in TV? They change my smoke alarm batteries and my other half has stood and talked to them at length. They make diddly, maybe not that much, I do not know how they survive.

So, yes, we do show our appreciation to the youngsters in the Fire Department, not with money because it is not allowed, but we have provided lunch, cookies and other "fattening things" from time to time.
