As many of you know, Firefighter-Technician Dennis Mills (T-3-1) was hospitalized Sunday evening with a serious medical condition and is currently at Washington Hospital Center. To help ease the stress on him, his family, and his coworkers, trades are being set up for assistance. While he has respectable leave balances, we’d like to keep it that way. When working for DJ, all meals will be paid for, all attempts will be made to keep the trade in quarters and the trade will not sit a watch.

Justin Allen (T-3-4)

Chris Moore (E-16-2)
