Firefighters have been in the news a lot this year in Morristown.
They battled a deadly house fire on Pine Street earlier this month. In January, they braved bitter cold to control another blaze that could have taken out half of Morris Street.
So here’s a song for the firemen.
The Bravest is about heroism on 9/11. But the sentiments apply to anyone who rushes into fire and smoke when everyone else is rushing out.

Tom Paxton performed his song last weekend at the 40th anniversary of The Minstrel Acoustic Concert Series, which he congratulates in his opening remarks on this video.
