In 1975- I went through the Kansas City MO Fire department's Fire Academy with some training Lee's Summit smoke eaters- came to know most of their guys personally.
The LSFD guys were/are both professionals as well as class acts.
Their fire union Local 2195 will have off-duty Lee's Summit firefighters doing their 30th annual "boot block" to collect for a LOCAL needy families fund sayth The INDEPENDENCE- BLUE SPRINGS- GRAIN VALLEY EXAMINER in this story.
On December 22nd (Tues)- 23rd (Weds) and Christmas Eve (Thur)- these firefighters will humbly accept your donations at the intersection of 3rd Street and Douglas in classy downtown Lee's Summit from around 9 AM to dusk on those days.
Ms. Rittenhouse will drop by with our meager but heartfelt share one of the days and I urge all good Metro Kansas Citians to drop by there with what you can too.
With a Captain 'Nog' Morgan raised- I wish a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all MetroRegion paid and volunteer firefighters- law enforcement officers and EMT-paramedics!
