Created April 13th, 2026

One of our dedicated EMTs, an active member of the Holbrook fire department, recently experienced a devastating setback when a fire in a neighboring apartment caused significant smoke and water damage to her home. Brittany, her husband Scott, who is also a Paramedic for the district, and their young daughter have been displaced and are now facing the difficult task of rebuilding. With their second child expected to arrive in less than five weeks, this hardship comes at an especially challenging time. As members of our fire department family, who have always been there for others, we are coming together to support them in their time of need. Donations will go towards replacing essential items, such as baby clothes, toys, furniture, and other belongings that were lost or damaged. Any support, big or small, will make a meaningful difference for this deserving family as they prepare to welcome their new baby and get back on their feet.
