Local 121 let's show some love!LINK www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/firefighter-raffle
On the night of December 4th, DeKalb Engine 25 was responding to an emergency when it was involved in a devastating accident. All three firefighters on board were injured. Probationary Firefighter Eboni Kennedy sustained life-threatening injuries and has already undergone multiple surgeries. She faces a long and difficult road to recovery.
To support Eboni during this time, we are raffling off an 880 Helmet. Done by @1937_leatherworx — fully customizable in color.
This helmet includes:
-Blackout antique brass hardware
-Rag top liner/short ear flaps
-Brass band
-Deep suspension system
-Leather chin strap
-color of your choice
All proceeds will go directly toward Eboni’s medical bills and any additional expenses on her road to recovery. Your support helps lift a fellow firefighter and her family during an unimaginably difficult time. You can also donate any funds directly. ... See MoreSee Less

West Metro Fire Rescue in Colorado will shift its firefighter start time from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. beginning in January after a sleep study found the earlier start was negatively impacting rest and alertness. The study, conducted with Yale researchers, showed firefighters were averaging only about six hours of sleep on duty, often waking before their natural sleep cycles, which increased fatigue and reliance on caffeine. Supported by the union, the department believes the later start time will improve sleep quality, reduce exhaustion, and enhance firefighter health, performance, and overall safety without compromising response capabilities. ...
