For fireman Jon Eaker, putting others first is natural.
Knowing the daily stress of what it takes to look out of the community, he is reminded that sometimes it s firemen who need caring for. As the President of the F.O.O.L.S. (Federal Order of Leatherhead Society) Chapter in Cleveland County, Eaker spearheads efforts to raise money to support firemen in need.
“It’s a federal foundation based on firemen all over the country that they built together in the 1990s,” said Eaker. “You put money into it, and you make your own chapter for your area. If a fireman is need, we give them money to help them out or help someone out in the community.”
