A local company that supplies first responders with apparel is helping out the families of the West Webster firefighters.

The Job Shirt Store is selling two different t-shirts to raise money for the families. One says "Hoff-Strong" for injured firefighter Joseph Hofstetter. The other shirt has two helmets on it in honor of the fallen, Tomasz Kaczowka and Mike Chiapperini. The owners say they wanted to do this because they have a personal connection the firefighters.

"I own this business with my cousin who is a Rochester firefighter. I come from a family of firefighters, and obviously with knowing the West Webster Fire Department, we wanted to do something to fundraise for the charity for all the families," owner Richard Girard said.

The shirts are $20 each with all proceeds going to the families. To purchase a shirt, click here.

I respect and honor this company for doing this, but why is Theodore Scardino being forgotten? Don't you think his family will be hurt when they see this?? He too is a hero.
