Great post recognizing Bryson Hue

Public Education at its best.

“Upon my drive home from work, there are days where I see this particular firefighter outside. I do not know his name or know him personally, but it seems to me that he is always training in his firefighting gear. It makes me feel safe living here as a citizen on WSMR seeing him training.

I am no first responder or have any knowledge in the firefighting profession. This particular firefighter working for the White Sands Missile Range Fire Department is always outside in the afternoon training and I know for sure what he is doing is not easy.

I would like to commend this firefighter on a job well done, I truly do feel safe if this firefighter is responding to my home on post. Great job White Sands Fire! We need more like him!”
