A
Firefighter is the "Angel" who pulls your sleeping child (or
you) from a burning smoke filled room in the middle of the
night. It is this true valor and selfless spirit, risking
their lives to keep our communities safe, which has earned
them the right to a traditional fire service procession when
called to their "Last Alarm."
Now you have a unique opportunity to
"Act like an Angel" and express your appreciation, in a
manner never before possible, without having to risk your
own life! The dilemma is that due to size, expense, and
service needs, our modern day fire engines can rarely be
used to carry fallen firefighters for funerals.
To answer the need, volunteers are restoring and customizing
a 1954 Mack fire truck as a hearse. This beautiful vintage
truck will be used for time-honored, traditional, fire
service funeral processions fitting for our heroes.
We have many brothers and sisters who have sincerely
requested and more than earned a traditional “firefighters”
funeral, and time is of the essence! Several retired
firefighters who passed away this year desired that their
last ride would be on a fire truck, not in a limousine.
Sadly, we were not able to fulfill their wishes.
Please become one of our
1000
special friends of the fire service today. Help fund the
final construction phase of the Last Alarm Foundation's fire
truck hearse.
You would be an
ANGEL!
