the scene, when the blaze broke out almost two weeks ago, where a couple of dozen local volunteer firefighters. Now the fire has become personal to many of them. From Member Station, K.R.

That includes the homes of a third of the volunteer firefighters in the tiny community of Bua. Tom Lacka is the fire captain there. He
says they didn't stand down. It's hard in your own backyard because it wasn't about protecting such and such an address. It wasn't a number. It wasn't a road name. It was a person whose house we were looking to protect. Lacka says they may have their differences in his community, but they stand together and they'll come back and do what it takes to rebuild.
