The Cape Coral Fire Department (CCFD) and the Cape Coral Animal Shelter (CCAS) are excited to announce the release of a special 15-month calendar featuring firefighters alongside some of the shelter\u2019s adorable, adoptable cats and dogs.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cPartnering with the Cape Coral Animal Shelter in this fun and meaningful way allows us to highlight not only the dedicated men and women who serve our city, but also the animals who bring so much love and joy to our lives,\u201d said Fire Chief Mike Russell. \u201cThis calendar is a reminder that service, compassion and community go hand in hand.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Calendars are available for a $20 donation and can be purchased online at ccfdfoundation.org<\/a>, at the Cape Coral Animal Shelter, 325 S.W. 2nd Ave., or at CCFD Fire Headquarters, 1115 S.E. 9th Ave. They will also be available for purchase on Saturday, Nov. 15, during CCFD\u2019s Open House at all fire stations and at the CCAS Yard Sale at Wicked Dolphin Distillery,131 S.W. 3rd Place.\n<\/p>\n

Proceeds from calendar sales will benefit both the CCFD Community Foundation, which assists firefighters and funds community outreach programs, and the Cape Coral Animal Shelter\u2019s rescue and adoption efforts.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love the \u2018rescue meets rescue\u2019 spirit of this project,\u201d said Liz McCauley, executive director of the Cape Coral Animal Shelter. \u201cJust like firefighters answer the call to protect people, our team answers the call to protect animals. Together, we\u2019re celebrating the heroes on two legs and four paws \u2014 and every calendar sold helps save more lives.\u201d\n\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Open Audio Article Player SPECIAL TO FLORIDA WEEKLY Mr. October. -COURTESY PHOTO The Cape Coral Fire Department (CCFD)…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50269,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[209,211,210],"class_list":["post-50268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cape-coral","tag-cape-coral","tag-cape-coral-headlines","tag-cape-coral-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50268\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
