IamResponding.com Supports the NFFF

IamResponding

IamResponding.com (IaR) has signed on as a new supporter of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF).

IamResponding will contribute $25 to the NFFF from every new IaR subscription between March 1 and the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend (Octob 8-9). Those funds will be directed to Foundation programs that honor the fallen, assist their survivors and help prevent future line-of-duty deaths and injuries.

IamResponding has always been committed to enhancing firefighter safety, with a primary mission of getting more complete crews on the scene faster," explained Daniel Seidberg, President of IamResponding.com.  "Reducing response times with IaR results in more complete and more effective crews getting to a safer fireground. We are honored to be able to extend the support of our international network of more than 5,000 subscribing departments to the NFFF's critical mission and programs, and we look forward to adding the many new subscribers this year who will be the driving force behind this partnership with the NFFF."

“We appreciate IamResponding.com’s commitment to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation’s mission to honor the fallen, offer support to their families and help reduce firefighter line-of-duty injuries and deaths each year,” said Ronald J. Siarnicki, Executive Director of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. “Their generous support will help the Foundation provide valuable resources to the survivors of the fallen and the fire service.”

James City Fire Station Nears Completion

The James City-Bruton Volunteer Fire Department is like a big family, members say. That family is moving into a house in May. About 135 firefighters and paramedics will say goodbye to the original Fire Station 1 next month.
First responders have answered the community's calls for service from the station at Richmond and Forge roads for 50 years, covering 110 square miles between New Kent and York counties, said station President Phillip Murdock.

Fire Station 1 was hand-built by volunteer firefighters in 1966. It will be demolished a few weeks after the move to make way for a longer drive way leading to the new station, Volunteer Fire Chief David Nice said.
