If you want to help your community then call your LOCAL volunteer firefighters and offer THEM a donation. They're in your community and they NEED your support. Don't give money to some anonymous voice on the telephone.
Who needs your money more? The Pennsylvania Professional Fireman's Assn. (firemen paid by the city to do a job) or your local volunteer fire department (your neighbors who are working nights and weekends for FREE?)
If you want to help firefighters, give to your LOCAL VOLUNTEER fire company. In this economy they are hurting and can't afford to hire professional telemarketers to canvas for donations. If you're getting Pirate tickets, keep in mind that that's money that ISN'T going to fight fires. It's going to pay ball player salaries.
This caller from 1-412-307-3878 is a scammer and one should NOT answer it. You never know who is on the other end. If the number is NOT familar DO NOT answer it plain and simple
