Check out this incredible clipping from the Tampa Morning Tribune, dated July 17, 1954! 📰

Over 70 years ago, these dedicated Tampa firemen completed a
34-hour advanced first aid course. Out of 212 personnel in the department at the time, a whopping 180 were fully qualified for emergency rescue squad work thanks to the Red Cross.

Shoutout to the rescuers named in this history making photo.

You showed up when it mattered most.
Thank you to everyone who donated, supported, and stood behind Cinco de Dodgeball. Because of your generosity, the Tampa Firefighters Museum and the Matthew T. Bunch Foundation were able to present Retired Captain Mike Carter and his family with a check to help support his cancer treatment.
This community always comes together in times of need, and your kindness and support mean more than words can express.
Captain Carter, we love you, we support you, and we are standing with you every step of this fight. ❤️
