No words can express the concern and sadness this senseless act of violence has created. Our sincerest condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of the fallen brothers. Prayers for healing for the brother that remains hospitalized.

We mourn the tragic loss of two brave souls -John Morrison, 52, a battalion chief with Coeur d’Alene Fire, and Frank Harwood, 42, a battalion chief with Kootenai County Fire-who were senselessly killed in an ambush while responding to a brush fire.These men answered the call to serve, even in the face of danger. May they rest in peace. My prayers are with their families, their departments, and all who are grieving this unimaginable loss.

The Chief that does the dishes . . .

The Officer who is first on the mop . . .

The Senior Man scrubbing the bathroom . . .

The rest of us watching.

And we're always watching.

We see you in the station just as clearly as we see the closed door of the Chief who seldom socializes, the Officer who talks a lot but doesn't do much and the senior firefighters who disappear when the work begins.

And we know who to follow when the tones drop.

It's not that far from the station to the fire ground. Not that far at all.

The fire service lost a legend today. I had the opportunity to hear him speak on a few occasions and was always amazed by his depth of knowledge, insight, and experience. A humble man who was a student of the job. Rest easy Captain Gustin.
