Into the Fire

Our prayers are with the families of Paul Cahill of Scituate and Warren Payne of Canton, Boston firefighters who were killed last night while battling a blaze at a restaurant in West Roxbury.

We are reminded, once again, of the risk these men and women take and the courage they show every time they enter a burning building to save another human being -- running into the fire while everyone else is trying to get out.

Let us remember, then, not just these brave men we lost last night, but all those who have gone before them, and all of those who continue to do these difficult jobs every day.
