These firefighters were VOLUNTEERS [View all]

Rousted out of bed in the early morning, pre-dawn hours, left their loved one's behind; not knowing that by selflessly answering the call for help a job that already carries the inherent dangers of firefighting, that they would have to lay down their lives to the hands of an armed gunman.

On Christmas Eve.

Enough.Is.Enough.
