Why Are Marin's Firefighters Wearing Pink?

It's unusual to see a Marin firefighter out of uniform - and especially in pink.

Many people love a firefighter in uniform – but what about a firefighter donning pink? 

This week, all professional firefighters in Marin will wear pink t-shirts while on duty to help support breast cancer fundraising and research.

Check out the above pictures of local firefighters in their pink t-shirts.
