SPECIAL REPORT
Fort Bragg Firefighter to Build
"North Carolina Blanket of Protection"
MON NOV 08
SUBMITTED BY CHAD SIMON, CFP-7444
FORT BRAGG -
Lieutenant Steven Stewart from the
Fort Bragg Fire and Emergency Services is undertaking a major
project that he hopes will bring much needed money to the
North Carolina
Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
Lt. Stewart is constructing a quilt which he calls a "North
Carolina Blanket of Protection". He came up with the idea while
making a quilt for his four year old son. "I call it a blanket of
protection because of the way our state's fire departments weave
together to form a blanket that protects life and property across
the state."
His plan is to place a patch from each North Carolina department
on the quilt and have it raffled at the S.A.F.E. Convention in
August 2005 with the proceeds going to assist with the Fallen
Firefighter Memorial. So far he has contacted the NC Fire Chiefs
Association and patches are starting to trickle in.
He states that he is currently working on sending letters to every
Fire Department in the state to request two patches from each and
is looking for an agency that can assist him in his efforts by
helping attach the patches to the quilt. Globe
Fire-suits is making the blanket and donating it to
this great cause.
"I think that the quilt will definitely be one of a kind and a
cherished item for the lucky person who wins it". If you have
patches that you would like to donate please send them to Lt.
Steven Stewart, 5835 Butler St., Hope Mills, NC 28348. Or if you
would like to contact Lt. Stewart for more information please call
910-423-9938.
