I have read (somewhere - can't remember where) that there is a scam spam
going around. If anyone wishes to donate to firefighter relief funds here is
a site <http://www.firehouse.com/> with links to an official fund (url
passed on by the wife of a firefighter not in NY so I am assuming that is
the official fund because the name matches things I have read elswhere but
as always do your own homework). Also many local fire fighters groups are
expanding their funds to accept donations intended for NY and then sending
those on through whatever channels they have set up.
