Although the official Bombero Toy and Food give away program has concluded for this year members of the SJFD continue to give. On Saturday December 18th firefighters received a call from a family with three kids. The father recently had heart surgery and the mother was out of work. They had no Christmas tree or presents but did not give up hope for having a nice Christmas for their children. Members of the fire department stepped up and purchased a beautiful tree, decorations, food, and with the help of Los
Bomberos plenty of presents that are sure to bring a smile on Christmas morning.
The giving spirit at Fire Station 16 is also alive and well. Each shift has adopted a family to help out this year. These are just two examples of what the SJFD is doing across this City to help make this Holiday season a little bit Merrier for kids and their families during these tough economic times. Special thanks to Captain Gerry Laird, Jeff Silva, Matt Brock, Sean Kaldor, and Barry Arata for delivering not only the tree, food and gifts but for also delivering a Merry Christmas to a family in need.
