Does anyone work for a department that has a policy on giving "time" to a co-worker with a medical hardship who might be out of sick time?? For example...if I want to put time into a "bucket" for someone or a group of us want to, for unforeseen hardships down the road...Email or message me and let me know...Thanks! Rudedog

Passing along a request for a brother |
Dear Colleagues & Friends,

I have a personal favor to ask of each of you. As you may know, both of my brothers are retired NYC Firemen. What you may not know, is that they were both forced to retire due to injuries and illnesses they sustained while working at the World Trade Center on 9/11, and in the weeks and months that followed. My younger brother, Jim, has become very ill and I would like to do something to encourage him and lift his spirits a bit. There are two things that I have learned about firemen over the years: (1) they love their jobs; (2) they feel a special kinship for firemen across the country. My brothers have both marched in St. Patrick's Day parades in Chicago and Boston, and truly feel that they have brothers in firehouses across the country.

So here is the favor I am asking of each of you. I would be deeply indebted to you if you could reach out and contact the firehouses in your communities and for a t-shirt or hat from that firehouse along with a card signed by the firemen in each firehouse and send them along to my brother.

He is in the fight of his life, and I know that the most meaningful gift that he could receive would be the knowledge that his brothers in firehouses across the country were thinking of him. A t-shirt may seem like a simple silly gesture, but it is typically given by firemen only to those they deem worthy of wearing it. So it would carry very special meaning to my brother.

My Brother, Jim Ryan, was in Ladder Company 167 of the FDNY in Queens, New York.

His home address is

Jim Ryan 173 Avenue B, Kings Park, NY 11754.

I know you have many other things to worry about in your day to day jobs, so I appreciate you taking the time out of your hectic schedules to consider this request. Thank you.

Appreciatively,
Mike

I am sorry to announce the loss of a Brother today. Franklin Firefighter/Medic David Cline was killed when the ambulance he was driving, part-time for Rural/Metro, collided with a TDOT assistance truck on I-65.
The patient riding in the ambulance was killed and his partner, Evans Johnson, of the Metro Nashville FD is now listed in stable condition. The TDOT driver is also listed as stable.
Please keep the families of all involved in your thoughts and prayers. Rest easy, David. We'll take it from here.

Jim |
My name is Jim, I'm from Ocracoke, NC. I am a Volunteer with a department in New Hanover County just out side of Wilmington,NC. I have been trying to get hired full time in a paid department for some time now, and although I am certified and have experience I am finding it to be very tough to even get past the initial application to the next steps due to a few poor choices that I made when I was 18 (almost 5 years ago). I made the choice to do something better and the fruits of my labor have yet to pay off, and it is nothing short of frustrating. Anyone with a suggestion or incite to help a firefighter out with a second chance. My e-mail is cheezguy53@earthlink.net THANK YOU EVERYONE!!
