Good Deeds

LATELY, IT SEEMS that any time you check the news, the only thing you hear about—aside from the disdain between presidential candidates—is some type of awful incident that’s full of death and destruction.

However, once in a while, you get a glimpse of less dramatic but more heartfelt news of people doing good deeds, like helping the community and their neighbors in times of need. A couple of recent events remind me how much good there is in people. I want to bring to light some of our fellow diesel enthusiasts who are doing selfless acts to help others.

Wildfires are a big problem in many parts of the U.S. and Canada, with flames at their peak during certain times of the year. When fires start and many times quickly rage out of control, the fire crews and police certainly have their hands full. With priorities being to protect people and deal with the blaze, they don’t always have the time or resources to deal with all the situations that arise because of the fire. Many times, homeowners and other people who are directly affected by the blaze face having to evacuate on their own.
