T-shirt sales to benefit families of fallen firefighters

At the Station Fire Incident Command Post at the Hansen Dam Recreation Area Saturday, volunteer Los Angeles County Fire Department photographer Troy Case and others sold t-shirts commemorating the two firefighters killed battling the station fire, as well as the fire camp that was destroyed in the blaze.

All proceeds from the shirts, which are selling for $20 a piece, will benefit the families of fallen firefighters Tedmund Hall and Arnaldo Quinones, who died Aug. 30 when their truck went over the side of a cliff during the firefight.

In addition to at the command post, the shirts are also available at an unofficial web site for the Los Angeles County Fire Department, www.lacountyfire.com, Case said.

Hall and Quinones were assigned to Fire Camp 16, which was destroyed in the blaze.

Case designed the shirts, which feature the patch design of Camp 16.

On Saturday alone, Case and others selling the shirts had raised several thousand dollars for the Hall and Quinones families.
