“These firefighters have the city’s full and total support as they go through what we hope will be a swift recovery,” Gloria told reporters. “It is times like these that I ask San Diegans to remember the tremendous sacrifices that we ask of our first responders. These are individuals who will go toward danger, while the rest of us step away.”
