Behind every firefighter is a team of people who rarely wear the uniform, but are every bit as important to the job.
At Shoreline Fire’s pinning ceremony, we celebrated our firefighters as they took their oath and received their badges. But those moments didn’t happen in a vacuum. Behind each badge are spouses, children, parents, siblings, friends and loved ones who have supported these firefighters through long shifts, missed dinners, sleepless nights, big changes and, most recently, the journey of building a brand-new department.
They’ve listened, encouraged, worried, celebrated and probably heard “I’ll be home soon” more times than they can count.
To the families and friends who have stood beside our firefighters through it all: thank you. Your support makes their service possible, and you are an important part of the Shoreline Fire family.
We celebrated the firefighters last week. Today, we’re celebrating the people who help make it possible for them to answer the call.
Special thank you to the talented Jamie Joos Photography for capturing some of these moments.
