Each Thanksgiving, families gather around their table to enjoy the food before them, each other’s company and to give their thanks where needed.
We wanted to know what you, as a firefighter, were most thankful for. We received a lot of heartfelt and surprisingly hilarious answers. Here are a few of our favorites.
