Marin Firefighter News

KTVU news anchor Heather Holmes, Marin County Shop Steward Breanna Buchannan and L-1775 President Bob Briare at the September 6, 2010 MDA Telethon in Oakland. The Marin Professional Firefighters presented a check just under $20,000 on the air during the telethon.  The donation was made from funds collected during the 2010 Marin "Fill the Boot" campaign.  Thank you to all of the Marin residents and visitors who donated to help Jerry's Kids and search for a cure for Muscular Dystrophy.   www.mda.org

Fighting cancer is a team effort. The impact we can make together is much greater than what any of us could do alone.

In the Firefighting Profession, we frequently encounter people battling cancer. Often times, they are friends, family and co-workers.

Firefighters have a high probability of getting job-related cancer. It is a job hazard that we must accept in order to protect the community. The Relay For Life is one way that we, as a Family, can give back and help not only the community but our very own in the fight against cancer!
