A first responder is in need. Dave Palmer, a paramedic for 31 years at Three Rivers Ambulance Authority in Fort Wayne has gone through a major surgery and is facing the possibility of needing another major surgery.

Dave has served this city for over three decades and has dedicated his life to helping others. He is a family man and has a wife and 7 beautiful children at home.

We would like to take donations to help take some of the stress away since he will be off work long term and so that he can focus on healing at this time.

IAEP Local 525 Union is going to match dollar for dollar up to $1,000.
