Christmas Tree Sales Support Injured Firefighters
Thursday, December 6, 2012(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)This year, your Christmas tree can support local injured firefighters and burn victims. Proceeds from the Christmas trees on sale outside the Sixth Engine Restaurant – which is housed in one of the oldest firehouses in the District – go to the DC Firefighters Burn Foundation. “It’s a great organization” says IAFF Local 36 President Ed Smith, who says the Foundation regularly “helps our members injured in the line of duty.” Trees – along with stands, wreaths, garlands, and collectible DCFD ornaments – are on sale Monday through Friday, 4-10p, and weekends 10a-10p.
