volunteer firefighters

There are nearly 100,000 volunteer firefighters in New York State. According to the Firefighters Association of the State of New York, those volunteers provide service hours that save the citizens of the Empire State over $3.8 billion per year. It's difficult to quantify what those volunteers really saved those that they have served. Then there are the volunteer Ambulance & EMS workers, jobs so stressful their numbers are tumbling each year. In December, Governor Kathy Hochul signed a bill introduced by Democratic Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski and state Sen. Elijah Reichlin-Melnick that may be a way of keeping those volunteers.

Even if you don’t care for Cee-lo, you would have to have some appreciation for this one as it pays tribute to volunteer firefighters. It’s just as catchy as his ‘F—You’ song, but instead of having a little angst towards a past lover, this one says ‘Thank You’ to those who risk their lives for others.
