The name of an injured suburban Philadelphia firefighter along with the signatures of the many friends and supporters who are coming to his aid.

Bill Hammond, long time firefighter /EMT and former Assistant Chief of the Concordville Fire Company in Delaware County, PA has devoted more than 20 years of his life helping others.
