Wonderful that we have so few real fires or other emergencies to distract Marco's Bravest from these persistent community smoozing galas!

"to raise money to benefit families of local firefighters during illness, times of hardship, and also education."

Mistakenly, I guess, I thought our firefighters were already amply paid and had very generous health benefits for themselves and their kin.

I wonder what benefits do our firefighters require for the mysterious "also education" category.

Here I believed that education for their kids might be its own reward....

firefighters are working class people...blue collar people who are expected to act white collar. They all have families to support too, they work hard for their money and the foundation is somthing to help them out if they are unable to work. Great organization with great people in it.

GREAT community event to bring everyone together and cant wait for the next one! Thanks for Marco Fire Rescue and The Marco Fire Rescue Foundation for making the event happen
