The family of Kansas City, Missouri Battalion Chief Tom Byrne who died in the line of duty after contracting job related cancer after his 30 years of service to the department is hoping to establish a foundation in his name: The Byrne Out Cancer Foundation.
Colleen Byrne has submitted a request to Chip-Starter.com for consideration and funding with this foundation. The focus of this foundation is to provide specialized washer extractors in all the fire stations with the Kansas City Fire Department to help remove toxins from turnout gear.
