Made a few more t-shirt drop-offs today! We stopped by Brit’s old stomping grounds at Shadyside Hospital and had the chance to meet Bobby Lane from Pittsburgh Fire Station 17, Engine & Truck. 👨‍🚒🔥

Check out our latest drop featuring Bobby Hillen and Mark Bruner proudly representing Pittsburgh IAFF. We’re beyond honored to have sat down with the City of Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire Local 1 Peer/Trauma Support Team. The work they’re doing is powerful — and we can’t wait to share it with you. 🙌🖤

❤️BACKGROUND❤️

This Tin is a tribute to who Jimmy was — both as a firefighter and as a person.

Inside, you'll find pieces of his life, carefully chosen to reflect the legacy he leaves behind.�The wall inside represents his canvas — the space where his story was written. At its foundation are the names of his beloved wife and two sons, grounding everything he did. Each station number displayed on the wall marks a chapter in his career, while the tools of the trade lean gently against it, as he pens his final message to the fire service he loved. In the background, you’ll see the city of Pittsburgh skyline — the city he served — alongside the planet Mars and a spaceship, a nod to his hometown's name. And, if you knew Jimmy, you’ll smile at the squirrel — a lighthearted reminder of how easily he could get distracted. All proceeds from each Tin directly support firefighter training trips through the Jimmy Ellis Foundation.

We are looking for two shipping containers to assist in our fire training endeavors! We are needing a 20' and a 40'/53' container. The smaller one will be used for a roof ventilation prop and the larger one used to store materials for building props. Containers do not need to be new, can have dings and dents but mostly water tight. We can repair smaller holes or leaks.

Thanks!!!
