Brothers & Sisters,

On October 29, 2007 one of our firefighters Lieutenant Scott Mumm suddently passed away after returning from from a railcar loaded with coal that was on fire. Scott was 34 and left behind his wife Melissa and three children: daughters Morgan 12 and Abby 6; and son Brett who is 7. He was a 13 year member of our department and also a member of the County's Hazardous-Materials response team. Our department is having a benefit on April 12 for Scott's family to assist with day to day needs and to establish a trust for his kid's future education. I am asking all of you, if possible to send either a department T-Shirt, Hat, etc to our department. These will be raffled off at our benefit and some I'm sure will also end up in Scott's children's hands for them to wear. Please forward this post on or email it to your fellow brothers & sisters at other departments. All your help and assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks again!
