I hope you saw our Sunday editorial.
In the aftermath of the horrific inferno that roared through the Barclay Friends Senior Living Center, much was made of the way the community responded.
Neighbors rushed to the fire scene to see what they could do and aid the elderly residents who had been chased from their warm beds into the 40-degree night.
Community organizations banded together to help.
West Chester University opened its field house as a temporary shelter.
But we should not overlook the overriding reason the tragedy was not far greater in scope.
It is because of that dedicated group of men and women who run toward the danger - not away from it.
We owe a tremendous debt to our volunteer first responders.
We tried to pay back a bit of that debt in Sunday's editorial.
