With all the craziness of 2020 a story like this brings us hope for the days ahead!
And as horrible as the Pnw fires have been the reaction the community made really relit that pnw pride most of us have lost lately.
It was amazing to help volunteer and our minds were blown by the sheer number of people that we met volunteering to fight fires, rescue animals and protect people's homes and businesses from the unimaginable. The PNW community stepped up in a huge way!
At MVP we get the opportunity to meet a lot of awesome business owners but this one especially stood out to us.
One of those business owners dropped everything when he had every excuse to stay home was Diesel Diagnostics Mobile this guy completely turned off his business for nearly a week! Called his friends to borrow a horse trailer, fire fighting water pump, and bought a 300 gallon water tank. He drove down from his safe home in Vancouver to go help. Not only was his home safe from wild fires his pregnant wife was at home and is about to have their baby any day!
After the long days and nights of rescuing animals, putting out hot spots, and protecting other's property he found himself sleeping in his work truck at the Canby fair grounds then getting up and repeating the process for days. Once the fires around Estacada started to calm down and were contained he had every right to go home and relax especially after all the days of volunteering.
But instead he went home kissed his amazing wife *his words* grabbed his travel trailer, gathered some friends and went down to the Jackson County fair grounds in Grants Pass Oregon to help fight fires down there for a few days!
Give this guy a message or comment with some inspiration he is still establishing his business on social media we bet he would be over the top hearing from the community!
