Bridgeport Firefighters Deliver Gifts

#Bridgeport CT--Firefighters from  Bridgeport Firefighters Local Union 834 from all fire stations were out delivering food and gifts for families in need throughout the city this weekend.  We caught up with them on one of these deliveries.  The firefighter's union do this every year and it actually took some prying on my part to get a delivery schedule.  There are never any press releases on this that is how humble they are.
