Fire department Tshirts for PEEPS

ken · 06-18-2010

Hello everyone, for those of you who may not have heard about our local fire department's (Bomberos) inception, history and fundraising goals, here it is in a nutshell.
This is a short interview with our local fire chief.

For all of you PEEPS, we sell Bombero Tshirts to raise cash for new equipment like jaws of life as well as ongoing routine maintanance of our trucks...most of which are circa 1980's!
We can be found most days on 5th at 8th, and on 5th between 26 and 28. look for us between 10ish in the am till 5 to 7 (LATEST) in the pm.
We use a very good but VERY SLOW printer for the shirts so we "usually" have sizes from small through XXL, and "usually" have both Navy and grey in most sizes.
small through XL shirts are 20 bucks...XXL cost 25...sorry big boys but they cost us more.

If you would like us to pop by a PEEP meet with shirts that can be arranged...just let me know when/where/what sizes and how many, and if we can make it we will.
We like to say "they're the only souvenir in town that saves lives"
Thanks guys and gals.

This would also be a great Father's Day gift. I bought one for my dad while I was there and he really liked it.

Hi,
My family and I will be in Playa on...

MONDAY!!

and we would love to buy some shirts to help your chief out. Our neighbor and my kids' godfather is OUR local Fire Chief and consequently we have many friends that are fire fighters. How do we find you to purchase them?

I don't know if you're still selling the tank top style "t-shirts", but the one I bought a few years ago is still in GREAT shape! (I bought it at the booth near the ferry pier on our way to Cozumel one day.)

Take note, ladies: I wear mine as a beach coverup (I think it was an XL?), and it's been through lots of sun, sand, sweat, and sunblock; it's been washed and dried many many times; and it STILL looks as good as the day I first bought it - a sign of a good quality product. And I feel proud that I've done a little part to help out such a worthwhile cause.

Thanks, Ken, for all you've done and are still doing to help make beautiful Playa and the rest of the Roo a safer place for all of us!

Any closer to having an online purchase option re-instated.Not scheduled to be down for a stretch but new shirts would be good-the last batch we bought disappeared before I secured one for myself.

CharlieBoy · 06-19-2010

Is there a picture of what they look like? I'm thinking of coming down in the next month or so.

I bought one in March when we were in town. Great cause to support. And it's cool to wear "bomberos" shirts in Erie PA with the universal fireman's logo. All for the brotherhood.

I bought one in Feb on the corner of 5th and 8th and I guess I don't know how to wash.

Wore it one time and when drying the back all stuck togather and melted.

Oh well it was donation.

u2girlie · 06-23-2010

Hubby bought one in November and wears it all the time. I bought one for a friend who is a local firefighter and he loved it. It is still in great shape and it's been washed a lot! I wish we were going to be in Playa on our next trip so we could buy a few more! We'll be in Cozumel in July and don't think we'll be making it over to Playa but if we do, picking up more shirts is a must!

CharlieBoy · 06-23-2010

So no pictures of the shirt from anyone? Guess I'll have to decide once I get there-although I'm a sucker for charity shirts.

Send me a PM with your e-mail and I'll send some pics to you. Believe it or not I actually found some! The pics are in Picture Manager and I'm too lazy to transfer them into Photobucket to post here.

The tank tops above are discontinued I believe...
The front has the bombero logo on the chest, and the back says "bomberos playa del carmen"
