To the editor:

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our amazing New Ulm Fire Department, Chief Paul Macho and all firefighters, for putting their lives on the line, each and every day, for all of us. We feel confident and safe knowing these amazing, dependable, dedicated, men and women are there at a moments notice, to save our lives, our homes and property.

Also, a big thank you to all the New Ulm employers who support our volunteer fire department, and the ability for them to leave their jobs, to keep beautiful New Ulm safe and protected. The sacrifices you all make for our community are appreciated beyond words. We are grateful to each and every one of you!!

Kevin and Mary Henle
