Lucky to have good firefighters

As rural residents and farmers and ranchers we are very fortunate to have dedicated and hard working firefighters from Spokane County District 3 and as residents near the Spokane-Whitman County line we have great support from St. John, Rosalia and Lamont fire districts.

We would like to thank all of the fire departments and first responders who helped with our grain field and combine fire on Aug. 27. We especially want to thank the “Miller Boys” from Miller Land and Livestock, our good neighbors and friends who saw the smoke and were first in the field and our neighbors Kyle and Nelson Cordill who brought their disc to plow a fire line. A special thanks to Spokane County District 3 and their EMT’s and to Rosalia, St John, and Lamont firefighters as well as the crews from Turnbull and DNR. We thank our friends and neighbors for their concern and support.

We were fortunate no one was seriously injured and the fire was contained to our field.

God bless all of the firefighters and especially Gary, Ron, and Monte Miller and their family and crew.

Gary and Louise Belsby
