Spinathon

Through DC Rabel an invitation was issued to the department to participate in a fundraiser for a local family who is dealing with a recent cancer diagnosis. Thanks to Brad, Local 4778 entered a team who participated in the Spinathon (see the link below for more info) while wearing bunker gear.

DC Rabel received this note of thanks from one of the organizers after the event and included the pictures listed below.

"Hi Garth...you have  a great  team of folks there...they all did their hour in full gear!!Amazing work from everyone involved!"
