A Firefighter's Wife

A proud firefighter's wife

It’s early morning and I hear him walk through the door. He is still in his blue duty uniform and I look at his face with my sleepy eyes resulting from the restless sleep I've gotten. We hug and hear the little footsteps from our daughter’s sound from around the corner and my thankful and blessed day begins.

I am a firefighter’s wife…

Having a husband in the fire service is truly part of our family. They are family. The brotherhood and sisterhood is a bond that is very strong. They spend time away from their families to help families in need. A family who is experiencing a loss of a loved one, medical emergency, or damage from fire or water can be very overwhelming and can happen any time.

Emergencies do not have a scheduled time or day to occur. The fire department is on the frontline doing what they need to do to everyday. Whether they are hooking up a waterline or maintaining scene safety, they attack the situation as commanded and show compassion to others. They are focused.

The scene is safe, my husband is now rolling in the hose line back on the truck with the duty crew. A family is possibly left without a home to come back to. It needs to be restored and windows need boarded up to preserve security and structural stability. This is where my passion begins. I'm a part of the restoration process and needed during any size disaster.

I now work for SERVPRO, a full-service disaster restoration company and truly believe in the ¨after the disaster¨ restoration process. When my husband is ready to leave the scene and the job is done, SERVPRO is ready 24/7 to begin our process to help families in need. We too are family at SERVPRO and we serve others during their time of need!
