They've come from Hastings, the Hastings area and even from out of state. The Fire Department is thrilled with its new technology, which has various uses in the firefighting business, the most important of which is finding victims quickly in a burning structure. But firefighters seem to be equally giddy about the show of support by the public. It also says something positive about Hastings, Gilbert said, something that can get overlooked by those who choose to focus on negatives instead of positives. This town pulls together when it needs to.
People have a sense of community.
It's alive here. The firefighters can feel it. Life doesn't get any better than that. Good for them. And good for Hastings.
