For <br />three shifts - October 7, 8, and 9 - firefighters are replacing their blue duty t-shirts with pink shirts with a special logo <br />to raise awareness of breast cancer research, and in support of friends, co-workers, and family members with <br />breast cancer. <br /> <br />Fire departments participating in this event are <br />Springfield, Eugene, South Lane Fire District, and <br />Lane Rural Fire/Rescue. <br /> <br />October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast <br />cancer is the most commonly diagnosed form of <br />cancer in women, and is the second leading cause of <br />cancer death of women in the United States. Many <br />friends and family members of fire department <br />employees in Lane County have been affected by this <br />widespread disease. <br /> <br />Fire Chiefs Randy Groves (Eugene/Springfield), Dale <br />Borland (Lane Rural), and Dave Nielson (South Lane) <br />and their command teams have declared their support <br />for this campaign. <br /> <br />The union firefighters from Eugene International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Local 851 and Springfield IAFF <br />Local 1395 purchased the t-shirts and fully funded this campaign. (South Lane and Lane Rural are part of Eugene <br />IAFF Local 851.) No City funds were used. This awareness campaign was endorsed by the IAFF by resolution at <br />its last national convention. <br /> <br />For more information, please contact IAFF Local 851 President Captain Scott Olmos at 541-682-7100. <br /> <br />Neighborhoods SNAP It Up <br />Neighborhood Services has reopened the Strategic Neighborhood Assessment and Planning (SNAP) process for <br />new neighborhood applications after a very successful pilot process with the Trainsong neighborhood.
