The firefighters from the Schooley’s Mountain Co. are truly selfless heroes. On Saturday April 2, my finished basement began to fill with water.

Within a half hour of the call for help a crew of six men arrived to contain the rising water. After the water retreated to the sump well the crew moved on to a neighbor down the street.

At about 1 a.m., the water was coming up again and I was considering making another call when a second crew stopped by to see how we were doing.

This crew seemed to consist of some fathers and sons who went right to work lowering the water level.

By 3 a.m. we were in pretty good shape. I can’t thank these guys enough for their hard work.

I didn’t get all their names and I’d hate to forget any one of them, so thank you all.

Some of the younger guys joked that my Rec. room would be a perfect clubhouse for the firemen (minus the water). Well, they are welcome anytime and when I get the room back in shape we’re throwing a firemen’s party.
