When this happened--- it was on every news station in CT.
From the beginning of the story of why to the end of the story of the snowball fight on the green in their home town. It has been said that this firefighter does a lot of donating.
Just wanted to add to the ha ha.

Here is something from one of our newspapers

Connecticut News from The Hartford Courant ::: State, Regions, & Towns On courant.com
