To the Editor:
Although I was just going to sit down, read the paper and start a cozy fire in my fireplace, fate decided to take a turn. I poured a beverage as I planned to enjoy the warmth of the fire, I noticed an all too familiar sound, a flue fire.
I left the house, called 911 and waited a minute until a growing team of volunteers and police showed up. The fire was extinguished and all is well.
The speed, professionalism and courtesy of all of those who came to help cannot be ignored. All too often we go through our day without appreciating the tremendous team that is here in Old Lyme to assure we are safe. Thanks to all.
Sincerely,
Bob and Sue Staab,
Old Lyme.
