Honoring the Heroic Firefighters: “Only the Brave” and “Ladder 49”

Today, we will present two touching films about heroic firefighters. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, “Only the Brave” tells the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, who lost 19 of the 20 members while fighting the Yarnell Hill Fire. “Only the Brave” is a moving tribute to these real-life heroes. As the climate changes, wildfires worldwide are much more frequent and devastating than ever. Billions of animal friends have lost their lives alongside people and their homes. We have an urgent situation on our planet Earth. We pray for all of humankind to adopt the vegan lifestyle to save us from the many dangers we face today and stop global warming. All information concerning the scientific evidence of climate change and its solution is in Supreme Master Ching Hai’s Book, “From Crisis to Peace.” Free for download at: Crisis2Peace.org

The second film is “Ladder 49.” “Ladder 49” introduces Jack Morrison, who, after graduating from the fire academy, begins to work as a pipeman in one of the busiest firehouses in the city: Baltimore City Fire Department Engine Company 33. Despite some practical jokes on the rookie, Jack quickly becomes friends with the team, particularly the captain, Mike Kennedy, who caringly watches out for them all. Directed by Jay Russell, this heartfelt film has touched millions of people. Vegan Oscar-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix gives a wonderful performance as Jack. Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actor and singer John Travolta plays Captain Mike Kennedy.

“Only the Brave” and “Ladder 49” are two of the top firefighter movies that illuminate the courage, determination, and self-sacrifice of these heroes who willingly risk their own lives to save others. With deep gratitude, we pray for the health and protection of the noble firefighters in their selfless, life-saving efforts.
