Same here. Something about firefighters teaching little kids to get out of a burning building. Actually, the woman I talked to was very polite, but I didn't give. Two problems with groups like this. The first is that almost always their fund raising overhead is very high, not much goes to the firefighters/kids. The second is that if you give to them you get put on a suckers list that goes to others; your phone will never stop ringing once you donate. And often, you are dealing with the evil telemarketing group Xentel.
