Letter: Fire departments deserve all the kudos

Fire threatened unharvested crops, nearby homes

Thank you to all the fire departments in Madison County and surrounding areas for the excellent work they do for our community.

It was evident as they worked in collaboration to put out a large field fire on Saturday, Nov. 14, as it threatened many unharvested acres as well as nearby homes, that we have the best firefighters around and that we are well protected from devastating fires. Within a very short period of time after reports were made to the Chesterfield/Union Township Fire Department, there was a collaboration of at least eight fire departments on the scene.

Thank you to Salem Township, Pipe Creek Township, Lapel, Frankton, Richland Township, Adams Township and Alexandria Fire Departments for assisting Chesterfield in containing the fire. Not only do our firemen have excellent skills, they are caring individuals as well. This is evident in their responses to the citizens they serve before, during, and after fires. The provision of the Fire Rescue House by another collaborative effort led by Skip Ockomon and the Anderson Fire Department provides much evidence to that fact. Thank you, fire departments, for being a wonderful asset for Madison County and a job well done.

Stephanie and Mike Moran

  • Viewpoint: Medical professionals instill confidence

    The reason for this letter is not to inform everyone in town “all about my operation,” but far more importantly, to share my remedial experience — physically and emotionally — with gratitude and appreciation for all components of the entire Saint John’s Cancer Center team.

  • Letter: Public should have say on library space

    As taxpayers, does the public have no say-so what happens with their tax dollars? With some proper schedule management, those existing meeting rooms can fulfill everyone’s needs.

  • Letter: Election fraud tales turn voters away

    Columnist Maureen Hayden asked, “Why did 3 million Hoosiers choose not to vote?” She gave a few reasons but I can think of another one.
    How about election fraud?

  • Letter: Elected officials should buy insurance

    I may be wrong but I thought the city and county were hurting for money, and that’s why services keep getting cut or eliminated. One thing is evident. There is no shortage of money for lawsuits.

  • Letter: Source of inequality is not economic

    The truth of the collapse of a living-wage economy for working-class America is a social catastrophe and, increasingly, a severe embarrassment to free-market ideology.

  • Letter: America following road to tyranny

    Global elitists behind our government have methodically been guiding our government toward the New World Order.

  • Letter: Let’s work through the problems

    On May 14 I attended the county council meeting in hopes that I could understand what is happening in the legislative branch of our Madison County government. What I saw was politics at its worst and I cannot applaud either party.

  • Letter: Columnist Brown ignores truth

    It’s hard to understand why The Herald Bulletin carries columns by Susan Stamper Brown, who has such a blatant disregard for truth in her conservative propaganda.

  • Letter: Taxpayers should thank the ‘few’

    Are those who worry about the loss of the wheel tax concerned about the roads or about their jobs? Most of them could care less about people’s needs.
