The Loyal Order of the Moose #138 presented the Wichita Fire Department with 24 Tommy Moose dolls today at Fire Station #20, 2255 S. Greenwich Road. Wichita Fire Chief Ronald D. Blackwell accepted the donation from Administrator Roy Bromley.

Eventually, every WFD truck will carry the Tommy Moose dolls. Firefighters will distribute the dolls to children who suddenly face overwhelming circumstances whether it is an automobile accident, house fire, weather disaster or other calamity. This the first time the WFD has received Tommy Moose dolls from the Loyal Order of the Moose #138.

“We are very appreciative of Moose Lodge #138’s generosity,” Wichita Fire Chief Ronald D. Blackwell said. “We are grateful that we have another way to comfort children during times of need.”
