As many of you know, I am a member of an association called the Citizen's Fire Academy Alumni Association (CFAAA). Our association works very closely with the Okla. City Fire Department, assisting them with various events and activities.

Each Christmas, The alumni members of the CFAAA volunteer to take breakfast to the firefighters that have to work on Christmas day. We don't actually cook breakfast, but we bring them the "ingredients" that they will need to cook breakfast. This is our way of thanking them for the excellent service they provide to the citizens of Okla. City.

There are approx 37 fire stations in the OKC metro area, and every fire station gets breakfast delivered to them on Christmas morning. Along with delivering breakfast, we read a Christmas poem to them that is written by one of our alumni members.

This morning was no different. My assignment was to deliver breakfast to the firefighters at station #19, located west of SW.44 & Western. Here are some pics from this morning.
