Don't talk to 777 like that. He actually does a dangerous job.

Shut up nerd.


He knows I <3 him.

My God what a bunch of punks here making comments. I imagine the jack asses making comments are to poor to spare a few dollars for someone in need. I’ll be donating

Not trying to be a jerk, and this probably isn’t the right thread to make the observation, but playing the firefighter card in almost every conceivable area has evolved into its own monster post 9/11.

I get it, I just can’t knock someone for wanting to do good.

I’m with you on that. As mentioned, probably not the thread to make that observation.

Just pointing out that he’s a public servant. He works for you and in your need of help. He’s in need of help now, so here I am.
The guy is a good person, good father, and just has a lot going on in his life.
There are a lot of good people here that respect public servants and know how hard they work, despite what the government thinks their worth.
That was the reason for the firefighter angle. And for what it’s worth, people have always been very good to firefighters prior to 9/11 or Katrina or whatever other event the media brought attention to.
Believe me, there’s way more that you don’t hear about on a daily basis and your tax money is going to good men and woman who put nothing in the way of protecting your property and serving you.


Thanks to everyone who has donated.
All donations are going to purchasing new uniforms (we buy), new bedding (we buy) and a used car. The rest will be sent to St Jude Children’s hospital in his son’s name for kids with cancer. I will update the OP after.

I am very grateful for the support from the good people here.

Sorry those statues coming down pulled a mask over your eyes of when the other 800 men and women responded to 65,000 medical calls and 300+ fires last year.

And for the record, Mitch forced his puppet to assist. Had nothing to do with the fire dept. We’re threatened a lot, to do jobs we’re not suppose to do.
Thank God for our Union.
The ones who volunteered to help the puppet were a very small, under 6 people, group trying to get promoted.
And then the union won a civil case against people wrongfully promoted.
So, please don’t group everyone together. It’s not always the way you think it is.
