15/May/2014 – Relay for Life

Fire-Rescue provided emergency medical coverage and operated the concessions stand for Relay for Life again this year. All proceeds were donated to the organization to help fight cancer. Paula Jacques coordinated the event and was assisted by many firefighters, their families and friends. Crews set up Friday morning, after a month of preparation, to begin cooking burgers, hot dogs and fries to serve the crowds who arrived later in the morning. Personnel worked until after midnight serving the groups of walkers, operating the dunking booth and face painting. Firefighter-Paramedics also stood by staffing an additional Medic unit in the event someone was injured. Several thousand people participated in the event which was held at the Middle School Track on Tuskegee Memorial Drive. The department collected over 2,500.00 for cancer research.
