There is a special bond among firefighters likely forged in flames that distance cannot extinguish.
So when a series of tornadoes damaged firehouses and equipment in Alabama last month, a Wantage, New Jersey, firefighter sent out a call for help.
The response was so great that on Wednesday morning a tractor-trailer and a few pickup trucks full of donated fire equipment, along with a donated fire engine, will start the 15-hour ride to Alabama.
Volunteer fire departments from New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania donated equipment in response to the social media post by the Beemerville Fire Department s Capt. Hunter Space.
Parker Space called his late father an icon in the community and a wealth of knowledge about anything involving animals. He also cited his father s relationship with his grandson, Hunter, as the two were best buddies.
A post on Hunter Space s Facebook page paid tribute to his grandfather by calling him the source of everything I know.
In a Facebook Live video shared by Space Farms in April, Fred Space recalled growing up in Sussex County during the Great Depression. He would wear his clothes until they were shreds before his mother would patch them a sharp contrast, he pointed out, from kids today who purposely wear jeans with holes in them.
