Here is the information for our 6^th Annual Golf Tournament to benefit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. The tournament is co-hosted this year by the Addison and Glenside Fire Protection Districts and is sponsored by the Addison Professional Firefighters (IAFF Local 4727), the Glenside Professional Firefighters (IAFF Local 3277) and the Hanover Park Professional Firefighters (IAFF Local 3452). We hope you can come and join us for a fun day of golf to benefit the families of those firefighters killed in the line of duty.

This from Steve Redick:

They had a … show at work the other day … got to see the new academy truck (finally) and this CPD command center … probably something I’ll never get close enough to see again. Thought you might find these interesting.
