Dear Member,

In this week's highlights, city officials won't allow firefighters to donate their sick days to a firefighter who is just days away from undergoing breast cancer surgery, while a helmet camera captures firefighters in Pa. rescuing three people, including a child and a pregnant woman.

And be sure to read about how one Ind. town is saving cash by training its firefighters and cops to do each other's jobs, one of our most popular Facebook posts.
