Firefighters fund-raiser
Wednesday, March 09, 2005 | 1 comment(s)
The Coos Bay Firefighters Memorial Committee is starting its "Buy-A-Brick" fund-raising and donation campaign.
The bricks will be used in the construction of a memorial honoring Coos Bay Fire Department Capt. Randy Carpenter and firefighters Chuck Hanners and Jeff Common, who died in the line of duty while battling a fire at a truck and auto parts store on Nov. 25, 2002.
The memorial will be located in the courtyard in front of Coos Bay City Hall and will include a life-sized bronze statue of the three firefighters, a remembrance wall, 11 trees signifying the children left behind and three pathways constructed of engraved donor bricks.
Order forms for bricks can be obtained online at http://www.coosbayfirefightersmemorial.com; or during regular business hours at City Hall, 500 Central Ave., or either Coos Bay fire station, 150 S. Fourth St. and 189 S. Wall St. All donations are tax deductible. For more information or to obtain a form by mall, those interested can call 269-1191.
