Sept 21st -  During the Fire Chiefs visit to the National Fire Academy on Sept 14-19th for training, he obtained a few photos that he would like to share with everyone. For those of you who haven't seen this. There is a Firefighter driving a PINK fire engine across the United States making several stops along the way bringing awareness about breast cancer to everyone he comes in contact with. There is a website you may visit as well. It is www.pinkribbontour.com  If their schedule permits, I have asked them to stop in the area on there way to Ohio this week. I will post this information if it will happen as quickly as possible.
