Fire District supports Breast Cancer Awareness Month
The Orland Fire Protection District will have firefighters
wear special Breast Cancer Awareness shirts and pink EMS gloves during the
month of October to support National Breast Cancer Awareness month, Chief Ken
Brucki said.
The effort is to help raise awareness for National Breast
Cancer Awareness Month which is a collaboration of national public service
organizations, professional medical associations and government agencies.
Brucki said that the district firefighters wanted to show support for the important cause of breast cancer awareness.
“It has touched so many lives in our community and we wanted
to show our support in raising public awareness” Brucki said.
Brucki said the Breast Cancer Awareness shirts will include
the Fire District logo and the recognizable ribbon of the Breast Cancer
Awareness community.
October is traditionally recognized as Breast Cancer
Awareness Month nationally, but Brucki said the effort to fight breast cancer
is an all year round, 24/7 objective.
