Firefighters Don Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

North Shore Firefighters are turning in the blue uniform shirts for pink ones during October in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

By wearing pink during the month, firefighters are not only showing their support for the nearly 200,000 Americans fighting breast cancer, but also helping educate the public on the need for regular exams that will assist in early detection of breast cancer.

Local firefighters and North Shore Professional Firefighter’s Association are joining forces with organizations across the country this month to battle cancer.

North Shore Fire/Rescue Pink T-Shirts are available for sale at Fire Station #2, 5901 N. Milwaukee River Parkway in Glendale. Residents interested in purchasing t-shirts should contact the fire station at (414) 228-5204 before stopping to purchase shirts.
