You can donate a kidney, save a life AND still be a Firefighter! Living w kidney failure isn’t living. Consider giving a kidney to someone in need!

[NFFF @NFFF_News]

Kidneys for First Responders Expand Your Legacy is an initiative to raise awareness about the life- changing impact of becoming a living kidney donor among firefighters. It is a call to action for firefighters to expand their legacies beyond their significant contributions to public safety, and to save lives within the firefighter community.

This initiative also facilitates living kidney donations to support fallen firefighters’ families who are battling end-stage kidney disease.

The NFFF is partnering with the @1stresponderctr, the @knoxco and Kidneys for Communities. Learn more: https://t.co/VUCXWzb0xB #firehero

@BaltimoreFire still working. Units from @AACoFD assisting.

If you’re going to the @Orioles game, this will affect how you get to the stadium. Plan ahead, leave early.

Two days after 9/11, Queen Elizabeth II broke with centuries-old tradition and instructed the royal band to play the “Star Spangled Banner” during the changing of the guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
