You May Be Alive… Because It’s Their Mission To Protect Your Life

If you’re a resident of Mississauga, you’re darn lucky!

I was up on a sunny beautiful day, reading and responding to my daily emails on my iPad in bed when suddenly a loud ringing occured.

It was so loud, it made my heart beat so fast because it’s the kind of alarms you hear when there’s an emergency…

I suddenly realize it’s the fire alarm in the building!!

I quickly grabbed a sweater, jacket and my keys and dashed out the door.
I ran down the stairs to ground floor to see what was going on.

Residents came out one by one to see what was the matter, and the maintenance seemed puzzled as they do not detect any signs of fire.

Moments later the fire department came, a whole team of them in around 10-15minutes.
I say that’s pretty darn fast, to just get around in Mississauga it would take that long! They had to be ready on stand by that entire time.

All I have to say is for what some people call ‘stressed’ out in their daily lives, I think these firefighters have it way rough when they make it their own personal mission to save everyone that needs help.

Imagine if you lived the life of a fire fighter everyday, what would you possibly have to go through?

I’m writing this because not only is there beauty in cosmetics, material adornment but inner beauty goes way deep. This is the one that counts. When you truly appreciate others to be there for you, you’re spreading beauty within you and around you as well. These fire fighters have such a passion to be there for you that I cannot help but to see that in them.

I truly appreciate them being there for us, and we should be grateful we even have this service in the cities. I know many cities around the world don’t even have this…

Thank you fire fighters, everywhere!
Your hard work, dedication, sweat, blood and tears are truly understood by a citizen today =o)

p.s. Don’t forget to look someone in the eye and say thank you for something you appreciated them doing for you today, and everyday. Even mention why you’re thankful! You’ll see the magic surround you.
