A local mothers group is organizing a county-wide fire safety awareness and fund-raising event to honor the Badger family, five members of whom were killed in a tragic Christmas Day fire in Stamford, and local fire stations. CT-Moms, a local group of over 300 moms in Fairfield County, have organized a county-wide fire safety awareness and benefit called A Show of Support. The informal, family-friendly, one-hour event, open to the public, will take place on Saturday, Feb. 25, at 10 a.m., simultaneously at participating fire stations between Stratford and Greenwich. The event is designed to allow local residents to show, through attendance and improved fire safety education, their solidarity with families like the Badgers who have suffered fire-related tragedies and their support for their local fire stations.

Greenwich Fire Station at 75 Holly Hill Lane will offer informative demonstrations, tips and open question-and-answer sessions for both children and adults, firehouse and truck tours, interactive instruction for use of safety and rescue equipment and more. Some stations will have giveaways, offer light snacks, and a fire-themed craft project to occupy any children in attendance. A suggested donation of $20 per family will be divided among local participating firehouses as well as The Other 364 Foundation, in honor of the Badger family in Stamford. Donations can also be made online at ctmomsonline.com.
