Dear Editor: Almost 10 years ago I accidentally caught a shed near my house on fire. The shed was storing used fry oil for turning into biodiesel. It created a huge fireball! Ridgway Fire Department responded to the call and were able to contain the blaze to the shed: no easy task. Our two houses were saved from any damage.

I’ll never forget the relief and gratitude I felt the next morning waking up in my bed in my house. Please support Ballot Issue 6A for our vitally important fire department....
