The firefighting community in Idaho suffered a devastating loss last night. While courageously responding to a reported wildfire, first responders were ambushed by a gunman—two firefighters tragically lost their lives, and nine others were injured. Authorities believe the fire was deliberately set to lure these heroes into harm’s way.

The fallen and wounded were members of the Coeur d’Alene Fire Department & Kootenai County—dedicated public servants who answered the call, only to face unimaginable violence.

As someone who has worked alongside first responders daily & holds family and friends in this world, this hits especially hard.

In a world that often feels unrecognizable, may we hold tighter to our humanity. Be kind. Be vigilant. And never forget the ones who run toward danger so the rest of us can be safe. 💛❤️💛❤️
