Pancake Breakfast For Murrieta Fireman Raises $38,000

The Murrieta Ca. firefighters auxiliary held a pancake breakfast today, March 8,2008, for Captain Matt Moore and the good people of Murrieta stepped up to the plate and helped this brave firefighter and his family to the reported total of $38,000.

Capt. Moore and his brother Capt. Mark Moore were two of the first firefighters hired by the city of Murrieta 18 years ago and both have worked their way up the ranks to their current rank of Captain and coming from a family of firemen they know the danger of their profession and they face it proudly. Recently Capt. Matt Moore fell into a coma due to an obscure form of meningitis that has invaded his body. His wife Sherry and their three children, Alyssa 16, Trent & Brandon 13, are praying for a miracle for this wonderful husband and father and the firefighters in Murrieta took it upon themselves to help the family of their brother and what a terrific job they have done.

When Southern California was on ablaze last year these brave men and women were in the midst of the firestorms risking their lives for all of us and now the people of Murrieta have said Thank You to Capt. Matt Moore and his family in their time of need.

May God bless this family and all the firefighters across this great land as it takes a special person to run into a burning building as everyone else is running out.
