What a senseless tragedy to occur against those who gave of themselves, rushing toward danger to risk their own lives, without an ounce of hesitation, so that our communities and those who live within them would be safe. Anyone that answers the call of duty when the tones go off is deserving of the highest respect. My heart goes out to all the members of the Webster Volunteer Fire Department and Police Service. Our brothers paid the ultimate sacrifice. As a former Volunteer Fire Fighter, I feel your pain and nothing I say will ease it in any way. Remember the fallen in all of their glory in your hearts and in your community. Be strong for the families who have lost their father, their uncle, their brother and their best friend. You will find your strength within yourselves, a strength that comes from the passion, conviction and dedication that brought you into the public service. Many will not understand why you answer the call, except for the hundreds of thousands of your brothers and sisters who also serve. We will be your strength as well. Once part of the brotherhood, always part of the brotherhood. God bless you all.

The Clear Lake, MN Fire Department send you our thoughts and prayers in these hard times. Stay strong.

This is indeed a great tragedy and a terrible loss to the Webster community. I was ordained a few years ago in the little church next door to the fire station. The good folks at the West Webster FD were always helpful to us and good citizens during my nine years at Holy Cross Church. I was shocked and saddened by the news today. May the peace of God that passes all understanding be with the fallen and their families in this time of sorrow.

A retired UK firefighter with many years experience, I have rarely shed tears, but today I have shed many for your colleagues and others affected recently by the shocking tragedies in the US. My most wonderful days have been spent in your country simply because everyone seems to care about each other and engages in simple polite dialogue from which we in the UK could take lessons. But then you caring people are met by these awful sad and circumstances. I am so lost for words but not lost for thoughts. Bless you all and your families.

My heart is broken. I pray for the vicitims, thier families and our brothers and sisters of the fire service.

To their families, friends and fellow Firefighters, please accept my deepest heartfelt condolences on this Christmas Eve. This is an epic loss. Firefighters face the possibility of never returning each time they answer a call, they put themselves in harm’s way in order to help the rest of us. For this, they are better than us. The way that they died is as shocking and hurts as much as the massacre in Newtown. These Firemen were as innocent as the children. It is my hope that they are honored with random acts of kindness done in their memory much like the Newtown victims are being memorialized.
Additionally, I hope that all citizens take a moment to appreciate the risk Firefighters expose themselves to on a daily basis for our benefit.

My thoughts are with the families and firefighters of the West Webster Fire Department this Christmas. I worked with the Webster PD and the WWFD when I was a deputy with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department. I can only imagine the pain you are all going through. Please know many are thinking of you at this time and we hold you all close.

Godspeed to those who lost their lives today, words cannot ease the suffering. All we can do is work together as Americans to prevent such catastrophic instances from happening again. I pray for the safety of my brothers and sisters in uniform everyday. Stay strong and know that everyone who wears a uniform today grieves by your side and will always stand with you.

Sending love and prayers for the families and the “FD family”. Heartbroken for these beautiful souls that should be home to celebrate God’s birthday.

i am a paid call firefighter (volunteer)on the west coast.
it was little different to run a call today in the nearby town with an LEO presence. fortunately it was only a small debris fire and was controlled by local residents before we all got on scene.
this may be the year i hang up my helmet for the last time, i have been a volunteer firefighter for many years now and have seen many changes in the service. this is one that gives one pause about being in the service.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the Webster Firefighters and their families. RIP my Brothers

From Auburn PA Fire/EMS

It was with immense disgust that I followed todays events. I saw an early facebook post and felt it sit wrong. As the day grew on the full horror became clear. May the wounded recover soon and the families heal too. The scars of today will forever haunt the Webster dept. but stand tall brothers. Keep the tradition of generations of firefighters alive, NEVER FORGET! May the two brave men who were murdered today rest forever in peace. Ar dheis De go raibh ar a hanam dilis.

Jesus brought the kids in Heaven two firemen tonight…

May God bless each of you.

I know it is hard to lose a firefighter. Losing two must be very difficult. Along with an additional two who are critically injured. For this to happen at all has to be extremely difficult, but to happen on Christmas Eve has to be 100 times worse.

To the two firefighters who were shot and injured; I wish you a very fast recovery.

God Bless each and every one of them, their families and friends and the department.

I wish to offer my condolences to the family’s of the fallen Firefighters and to their family of brother Firefighters.
I will keep you in my Prayers and thoughts.

Firefighters. You’ve rushed into danger so others may live, saved lives and property by risking your own lives, and more often than not we never even know your names.

I wish I never had cause to learn your names. But because of you I’m going to my local firehouse tomorrow. I’m going to get to know the firefighters who would risk their lives to protect my family and my property, I’m going to let them know how much I appreciate their dedication, and I’m going to find out if there’s anything I can do to make their job safer.

I can’t imagine the hurt and anger you all must be feeling right now. This Christmas my heart and prayers will be with all of you in your time of loss and recovery.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the First Responders and their families and friends. We lit a memorial candle at home when we heard the news – it is hard understand why there would be a tragedy like this especially at the holidays. We wish the wounded a swift and painless recovery and those who continue to serve all of God’s protection and the courage to continue do to the right thing. God Bless from Tennessee.

Sad day for the town I grew up in. As the son of a Rochester Firefighter, and the brother of a police officer, this tragedy really struck me close to home. Thanks to all of the West Webster Fire Department for their courageous service and may God heal your pain and the pain of all those affected by this awful crime.

My heart is broken over this senseless tragedy. “Chip” was a great person and friend whom I had the pleasure of knowing though the Fire Dept. Tomasz is a young man who’s live was cut way too short. It hits too close to home for me because he is just a year older than my son. These guys going out and doing what they loved… Even though I am no longer one of the “family”, I want you to know that I still care about each and worry for every one of you every time that a call is dispatched. May God bless you.

I am so sorry for y’all. Greater Rochester is a fantastic memory for me and my family. I lived in Perinton years ago and worked at Kodak with many Webster friends.
There was no violent crime that ever happened while I was there. A car going through the ice on Irondaquoit Bay was the most excitement along Lake Dr. when I lived there. It is a peaceful area and I hope peace returns, staying forever.
God be with you. Lynn Sorrell, Kingsport TN

I want to extend my sympathy and prayers to the family and friends of these two hero’s who tragically died doing their duty; a job I’m sure they loved and were passionate about.

The heinous act that resulted in their death sickens me and leaves me at a loss of words. The idea that a person would target others who devote themselves solely to helping people in need makes me lose faith in humanity.

If there is a God, I hope he is looking after them now & may they rest in peace.
