Included in that list are soldiers, police officers and firefighters, among others. We often take for granted that they will be there to prevent trouble and keep us free of worry. This week we have to offer up a heaping helping of praise to the members of the Alton fire depart- ment, as well as the other departments from around the Lakes Region that responded to the call for help during dry conditions last week. Fighting forest fires is never easy. The locations are usually remote and tough to get to.
