In the night of July 8 2005, a major fire destroyed some establishments very close to my apartment. I spent the night to follow the remarkable work of the Matane firemen and much more from all around the area, called in reinforcement. There was furious winds and the firemen had to work very hard to stop a possible propagation towards north. This tryptic is to pay tribute to the men of fire, their courage and their devotion![/lang-en]
