As a result of our sucessful pink t-shirt fundraiser, the Buda Professional Firefighters Association raised nearly $1000.00 for the battle against cancer.  The BPFFA donated $500.00 to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation and $500.00 to the Firefighter Cancer Support Network.  We would like to thank everyone who helped out by supporting this cause.

The Buda Professional Firefighters Association is joining with the Texas State Association of Firefighters to help combat breast cancer. On Oct. 25-27, members of the Buda Fire Department will show their support of people battling the disease by wearing pink shirts while on duty.

The association will also sell shirts to the public for $15. Fifty percent of the proceeds will go to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation, and 50 percent will go to the The Firefighter Cancer Support Network .

To purchase please call Buda Fire Department Main Station at 512-295-2232.  Shirts will also be available at the BPFFA booth at the Buda Firefest on October 2nd and 3rd, 2009 at Buda City Park.  E-mail info@iaff4650.org for more information. 

Early morning on Friday September 11, Buda firefighters gathered at their training facility to honor the 343 firefighters of the Fire Department of New York who lost their lives that tragic day.  Fifteen Buda firefighters participated in a tower climb equaling 110 floors in rememberance of our fallen comrades.
