Just received my February copy of the "VolunteerFirefighter" magazine from FASNY.
On pages 23 & 24 is an article about Firefighter Tom Torpey and 3 other firefighters from Friendship Fire Dept. Friendship, NY . They were seriously injured in a commercial structure fire call on December 22, 2008, when a brick wall collapsed on them.

The article asks fellow firefighters, to send cards and get well wishes to:

Friendship Fire Dept.
PO Box 503
Friendship, NY 14739

Or check out Cuba Fire Dept'.s website - www.cfdsmokeeaters.com for frequent updates on the injured firefighters and fund raising efforts.

So why don't you join me in taking a few minutes out from your busy day, to send some encouraging words to some brother Firefighters who could really use it. After all we all know how it could easily happen to any one of us!

Thanks,
Pete
