Support the Mid-Coast Fire Brigade July 11, 2008

I just got back from a day of volunteering with the Mid-Coast Fire Brigade. They have been doing amazing work, not only with the fire, but in building the fire house themselves. Yes, themselves. Today they were doing lots of wiring. When there is a fire, these brave men and women take a leave of absence from their full time jobs to come and protect us. When there is no fire, they come on their days off to build the fire house

There is still a lot of work to be done. The walls are not finished, the bathroom is not finished, there is no computer or internet, the list goes on and on. If you are able to send any money at all or if you know someone show can, please send funds to:

Mid-Coast Fire Brigade
Palo Colorado
Carmel, CA 93923

Thank you!
