It is unfortunate that more "colored" employees did not make it, but there were a few firmen of "color" along with women who are also fireman just in case you want to pull out the mysagony card as well as calling our good members racistst. This great department is bound by a passion, unfortunately not felt by all, but felt by the majority of men and women that proudly wear DCFD. Faulkner,

It was a good source of income and useful feedback for many years, until the county computerized the run reports and we no longer had access to the data to do the mailings.  No fussing with handing people cards in the back of units, and we were able to match and respond to the occasional negative response.   Here in the suburbs we used to mail a comment card and request for donation after calls.
