At All Times, Service Above Self

Firefighters Unmask Santa and his name is... by Brian Humphrey LAFD Firefighter/Paramedic Dear Friend of the LAFD: When members of the Los Angeles Fire Department answer the doorbell at a Neighborhood Fire Station, they can never be certain what they'll encounter. Many times it is someone with an urgent medical need or reporting a fire. Just as often this time of year, it is a person asking for directions or graciously donating a gift to the Spark of Love Holiday Toy Program.

And so it was late last week - almost magically - that the doorbell rang at Los Angeles Fire Station 27 in Hollywood.

Interrupting a kitchen table conversation about holiday toy demand exceeding donations, the dialogue paused as a pair of Firefighters scrambled for the door of the Cole Avenue firehouse.

In less than one minute, our friends at KABC-TV will tell you the rest of this heartwarming story:

If you're interested in helping Santa this year, in even the simplest of ways, please know that your personal support for Spark of Love is especially needed this weekend through Christmas Eve.

Happy Holidays!

Respectfully Yours in Safety and Service,

Brian Humphrey
