🚨 CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. WHO'S NEXT? 🚨

The Wichita Fire Department has entered the Battle of the Badges - for Blood Cancer United - Kansas. We're challenging every Fire Department, EMS agency, and Law Enforcement agency in Kansas to join us in raising money to fight blood cancer.

Let's see which badge can raise the most and make the biggest impact. ❤️🏆🚒🚑🚓

We have TWO weeks left to fundraise. I'm needing to get to our $59,000 goal -- fast!

DONATE to support City of Wichita- Government’s Wichita Fire for stepping up!

Special thanks to Sedgwick County Government Emergency Management, Mike Smith and his book “Warnings The True Story of How Science Tamed the Weather,” and US National Weather Service Wichita Kansas for their inspiration and assistance on this story that celebrates America’s 250th.
