To The Daily Sun,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Gilmanton Fire Department for their quick response to the building fire at my son's home on April 15. Their actions in putting out this fire were incredible. With the help of mutual aid units, this fire was under control within a short time.

This fire was reported to the fire dispatch center by a neighbor, and also reported by the Mt. Belknap Fire Tower.

A big thank you to family members, friends and the police departments in Gilmanton and Belmont for their help, as well. One never knows when help will be needed and it's nice knowing that these people are around. God bless all of you.
