The El Salvador contingent has returned safely from another successful deployment. As per last year, we have brought back several hundred pounds of El Salvadoran coffee to sell here as a fundraiser for FWB Canada.
The 1 lb whole bean bags sell for $15 each. The coffee is from the San Emilio Estate. It is high altitude, shade grown, and sun dried bourbon bean. Similar coffee normally sells for $20-25/lb.
We stand to raise a decent amount of money for our organization if we all line up a few sales.
Please contact Kim in Dispatch if you are interested in purchasing some coffee.
The hidden danger of working in an asbestos-contaminated environment means that firefighters and other first responders must take extra precautions, including using their self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and other personal protective equipment (PPE) and clothing at all times on a scene. Moreover, this equipment and clothing needs to be properly handled at the end of the fire or shift.
