Ocala, FL, Fire Rescue (OFR) is feeling humbled by E-ONE’s choice to feature the local fire department’s tower truck on one of two ornaments to be sold during the holiday as fundraiser for the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation (NFFF).
Having a long standing relationship with the local fire apparatus manufacturer, which happens to be one of the largest in the country, saying that OFR was excited about the prospect of having its truck featured in an ornament was no overstatement.
After learning that the ornaments would be sold, and proceeds would benefit NFFF – foundation dedicated to honoring fallen firefighters, their coworkers, and families – the sentiment went from excitement to honor.
“The City of Ocala and Ocala Fire Rescue are proud of the relationship we share with E-ONE”; said Fire Chief Bradd Clark. “We applaud their benevolent act of donating the proceeds of these handsome Christmas tree ornaments to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. We can think of no better example of a character-rich organization that embodies the traits of honor and virtue than the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. We are proud to be a part of this great endeavor.”
Ornaments can be purchased at the E-ONE Welcome Center in Ocala, or on-line via www.firelocker.com.
