"I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the fireman has to do believe that his is a noble calling. Our proudest moment is to save lives. Under the impulse of such thoughts, the nobility of the occupation thrills us and stimulates us to deeds of daring, even of supreme sacrifice."

 Chief Edward F. Croker, FDNY
circa 1910

Waterbury Fire Fighters Donate $18,000 to Children's Burn Camp
Updated On: Jul 02, 2010 (21:30:00)

Waterbury Fire Fighter Ray Corbo, Left, (aka Mr. January) and Calendar Organizer Fire Fighter Scott Breive, right, present an $18,000.00 check to Frank Szivos, Executive Director of the Connecticut Burns Care Foundation. The money was raised through the sale of the Waterbury Fire Fighters 2010 Calendar.

 

 For the fourth time, Waterbury Fire Fighters have bared it all to raise money for children, who have suffered devastating burns, to attend summer camp at the Arthur C. Luf Childrens Burn Camp located in Union Connecticut. The calendar was started in 2006 as a fun way to try to raise the much needed money to help fund the camp so that every child that wants to attend can do so at no cost.

 

With this year’s check, the Waterbury Fire Fighters have raised $60,000.00 for the camp with the sale of their calendars. Organizer Scott Breive considers this a huge success and notes that it would not be possible without the help of many volunteers, especially the photographers Georgia Sheron, Debbie Gagne, and Elac Aviles. He also thanks Dana Alsdorf for doing the layout and Fire Fighter Shawn McDonald for the website design.
