Bobby was the best! I could count on him for anything. Never once did I hear him say, it's not my job. Anywhere you look in Kuna you will find something that he had a hand in. His legacy will live on through his work and the many friends he made everywhere he went.

Such a senseless tragedy. I pray for the loved ones of these firefighters.

Such a senseless tragedy. I pray for the loved ones of these firefighters.

Two firefighters from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, were tragically ambushed and killed today while responding to a fire. A sniper opened fire on the the firefighters. A third firefighter, wounded in the attack, is currently undergoing surgery.

Please keep him, along with the families of the fallen, in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Looks like strong winds are coming!
