Many have seen this iconic image of Mickey Mouse and a firefighter together. Right now, that firefighter needs all of us to hope and pray for him.
In that photo is Captain Dave Baker who is a Anaheim Firefighter Association Local 2899 and IAFF Team 10 member. Dave was a rookie at the time this portrait was created. Now, he’s a captain and fighting for his life as he’s on a ventilator in ICU.
He is battling COVID-19.
Captain Dave is one of seven from Anaheim Fire who are battling the Coronavirus, but he is the most critical. Let’s all hope and pray they make it through this!
They’ve been there for us. Let’s do all we can to be there for them! °o°

California’s Firefighters risk their lives every single day. In times like these it’s irresponsible to lessen our workforce. In the face of a pandemic, civil unrest, and a never ending fire season; California needs our firefighters more than ever.
State officials need to do the right thing and protect our great state. The men and women of L2881 have dedicated their lives to defend California. They need our support more than ever.
No cuts. Period.
In solidarity-
