Today we were pleased to have Kittitas County Fire District #1 from Thorp stop by the sanctuary to visit with the chimps. The crew, along with Kittitas County Fire District #7 (whom we hope to also have out someday soon), were the first to respond on the sanctuary property the day of the Taylor Bridge Fire. We were super happy to have them out again, this time on a much calmer note. The chimps were pretty enriched by their fancy Nomex wildland garb!
Jamie was especially interested in all the boots
And Jody came over and gave them all a very friendly greeting. I think she was charmed by all the men with facial hair. 😉
We’ll never be able to express to this crew how much they mean to us and how much we appreciate the hard work these and all of the firefighters did to help contain the Taylor Bridge Fire. You guys will always be heroes in our book!
What a great day for all! I appreciate and thank them so much too!!
This group means a lot to someone like me clear over in Seattle also. They rock!
My appreciation and admiration for these firefighters and it is so good that they came back for a visit to see the caretakers and the wonderful Seven.
We heart firefighters!
There are those of us all the way across the country who are also grateful for their hard work and dedication to protecting lives, and who want to send them chimp sized kisses for protecting our friends!
