POLLY MARTIN of Sylva sent us a poem she wrote to describe the valuable community services performed by local firefighters. Martin expresses her thanks for volunteers’ willingness to leave their beds in the middle of the night to come to the aid of people they don’t even know. We agree with her. Everyone in the county owes a debt of gratitude to all of our hard-working emergency services volunteers.
