We would love to see a response from our Fire Department neighbors in Westchester County (or further).

Even if you have seen BURN before, this is a great theatre and two great causes.

**We are also working on an appropriate gathering spot within walking distance of theatre for after the show.

Perhaps even a special appearance by the great NFD2004 or Stamford's next generation KME severe service Engines?

"X152", I don't think that NFD2004 is as Great as some may think.

But I do know this. The story is about the Arson plagued City of Detroit and the many problems they face today. If you haven't seen this movie and you have any understanding of the Fire Service, it is probably something you wouldn't want to miss. Anybody that I know who has seen it, has been pretty impressed. This will be my THIRD time seeing this movie.

Of course I'll be in Stamford. And for anybody who is looking for me, "I'm an old fat guy that will be wearing a blue baseball cap with red numbers "27" and a smaller "2" on it. That doesn't mean the squre root of 27. It represents FDNYs Bronx Ladder 27 section 2 from 1970 - 1972. When there were TWO fully manned Ladder trucks in that firehouse, because there were just so many fires. It was one of my favorite places to hang out when the Bronx was going through what Detroit seems to be going through now.

The movie is really good and the money is going to a good cause. I hope to see you there.

Even if you have already seen BURN, the Avon is a great historic theater and venue and with a good chance for rain, this is a great option for the night!

Immediately following the screening, we are walking just a few steps down Bedford Street to Butterfield 8 for a post-screening party and to watch the Sox win Game 1.

Tomorrow night! Still tickets available, but they are expected to run out. Get yours now at the link above!

I just bought my ticket, and I hope to see some of you there!

Thanks Seth! Last minute ticket sales are good and we could be over 150 in attendance.

If you are planning on coming, PLEASE purchase your tickets in advance on our web site at http://burnmoviestamford.eventbrite.com ! It is quick, easy, and painless.

Everyone is invited over to Butterfield 8 immediately after the show for a post-screening party. Mention BURN and a portion of your tab will also be donated to the Foundations.

The ole fat guy from the East Side of Connecticut is making the trip down there. Be wearing the blue baseball cap with the red number 27 and a small 2 next to it. It's doesn't mean the square root of 27. But if you already got a ticket and you're the first one to post what it really means or stands for, I'll meet you there and pay for your ticket. Or bring a friend, and I'll pay for their ticket. If there's any left.

[x152 179]

You can still get tickets online all day and I would encourage people planning on attending to buy the tickets in advance.

We have a good amount of tickets already sold in advance and this should be a great evening out!

The Avon is a classic and perfect venue to watch BURN. Even if you have already seen it, this is a great spot to see it on the big screen.

Let's make sure everyone can see this post so no one misses out....bump!

Thanks to Capt. Palmer and all the Stamford Firefighters that brought this film to Stamford, and having the proceeds go to such a great cause. To those who missed it, there were over 160 people in attendance in a beautiful theater in downtown Stamford. I wish it was a packed house, but the turnout was still absolutely great, and I feel bad for those who had to miss out.

The movie was excellent, what I liked most was it was more about the FIREFIGHTERS and CITIZENS of Detroit then it was about firefighting, at least in my eyes. I love how the story was told.

But one thing bothered me, from a firefighter standpoint, well, among many things, why couldn't they use the pump on the "Tac" units (Pierce Mini Pumpers using for manpower transport)? Because one of the upper ranks said so? So it had no hose, and they arrived at a fire where a 2 year old was trapped and they couldn't do anything.

I urge everyone who has the chance to see this film to GO SEE IT. It was great to see it on the big screen and support a great cause along with it, but I think it is or will be available on DVD or Digital Download.

A Message from Presented by The Stamford Fire Safety Foundation Fund and The Stamford Fire Fighter's Burn Foundation:

Dear Friends:

Thank you for your recent support and for attending the screening of BURN at the Avon in Stamford last Wednesday (October 23, 2013).

We had a fantastic response for the event and a very successful evening.

Together, we raised nearly $3000.00 to be split between the Stamford Fire Fighter's Burn Foundation and Stamford Fire Safety Foundation Fund!

This would not have been possible without the generous support of our friends and donors.

Thanks again for joining us at the Avon and for your continued support.

Sincerely Yours-

The Stamford Fire Safety Foundation Fund, Inc.
