Cannot Be Grateful Enough
As many of the residents of Chester know, I recently had a building that belongs to me catch on fire. I want you all to know that no one was hurt by the fire or during the fire containment. I would also like to express my gratitude to friends and neighbors for their support and good wishes. But most of all, I want you to know that I am well and that this will not end up being a major setback for me.
Most of all, I wish to express my gratitude to the fire departments of Chester, Haddam, and Deep River. These responders did an excellent job fighting the fire. Their response was extensive. It involved a lot of equipment that was utilized by all the firefighters to effectively put the fire out. The location was not that easy to get to, and it seemed that hundreds of feet of water hose had been deployed in order to reach the burning building. I feel that my expression of gratitude will seem insufficient in comparison to the amount of effort on my behalf.
I wish to let all who are concerned about me know that I do not have any personal needs. But if you would like to convey some expression toward my welfare, please, instead, support the fire departments in your local town. I just cannot be grateful to them enough and your support for my sake would mean the world to me.
Thank you again to all who have expressed their concerns.
