from the sale of the artifacts will be donated to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF), a non-profit
foundation based in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
With the U.S. economy still recovering from a severe and extended recession, the donation is expected to support
the foundation in its continued mission to help the families of fallen firefighters across the country. The executive
