Many thanks to the leadership and personnel of Ten 8 Fire Equipment, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, our FFSHC FACE Team and the Firefighter Cancer Support Network, Florida Chapter. Of course the many fire departments on the west coast and those that traveled from as far away as the Panhandle and Palm Beach County Florida. With a special thanks to Southern Manatee Fire Department who helped coordinate much of the effort.
This places the State of Florida in a leading role nationally with a high bar of providing 4550 decontamination buckets to as many suppression apparatus and training facilities covering the state.
