Voice of firemen
Sun, Nov 9, 2008
Under mentioned touching text is a letter written by a fireman, some months after the one thousand fires Greece endured last summer, and addresses to people all over the world.
- Those 3-4 sheeps we didn’t make it to save and heard them frightened as the fire reached them.
- Those birds that didn’t make it to leave their trees as the flames circled them, and were falling all over us like leaves in autumn…
- The terrified faces of my colleges when we saw 50-metres-high all around us.
- The panicked voices of other firemen on the phone, telling people got burnt in their houses…
But I wont forget:
- The people on the helicopters who found us a way to avoid the flames at the very last minute.
- The governments, who let people build houses at places where once stood dense forests.
- That we made it to save a family and their dog, animals and properties from the flames.. it will help me sleep at night…
