Homemade signs are popping up around Fawnskin to pay tribute to the firefighters efforts.
Wrapped around a wooden fence in front of a small house is a huge white board that reads "Special thanks to all emergency personnel".
Beneath a fire information map in the center of town is a wood carving that reads "Firefighters, God bless all of
you and keep you safe. Win or lose, you are our heroes!"
Sixteen people have signed their gratitude with black markers.
"We thank you so much for saving our little town. It means so much," said Bob Balsam, 60, of Fawnskin.
A line of fire engines drove by at that moment and Balsam eagerly waved. The firefighters honked in return.
Mike Conroy, 51, nodded his head in the firemans' wake and said, "The town is still standing thanks to them."
