Toys for Tots 2012:  The Saint Paul Fire Foundation was once again proud to partner with the United States Marines Corps to provide toys for families in need.  A total of 200 families, 600 children, and 1,500 toys were distributed, along with a pie of choice from CUB Foods for each of the 200 families.

As of December 31st - LUCAS hands free CPR devices have been delivered to all Saint Paul Fire Department medic rigs and are currently in service.

A press release was held at Saint Paul Fire Headquarters, for those who contributed funds to purchase 13 LUCAS devices for the Saint Paul Fire Department medic rigs. These 13 LUCAS devices cost $198,000.

Thank you to United Hospital Foundation, the MN Resuscitation Consortium, Saint Paul Fire, and the Saint Paul Fire Foundation.

LUCAS mechanical CPR devices are hands-off! They are far more effective and efficient that human CPR providers, and are instrumental in keeping our responders safer (it is extremely dangerous trying to perform CPR in the back of a moving medic rig). SPFF is proud to be a contributor to this great cause.

Thanks all for your support!

The Saint Paul Fire Foundation is partnering with the US Marines TOYS FOR TOTS collection and distribution.  The Saint Paul Firefighters will distribute toys to 200 needy families (newborn children to age 14) on Sunday, December 16th from 1pm to 4pm. 

Toy collections at US Marine drop-off sites have been down, and the Saint Paul Fire Foundation has had to purchase toys to accommodate all the needy families.  Beginning this Friday, all 15 Saint Paul Fire Stations will accept your donations of toys for these needy families. 

Thank you in advance.  Mary
