MAPLEWOOD FIREFIGHTER'S GREAT SACRIFICE

Patch with a great story about Captain Joe Callaghan, who gave a kidney to a retired firefighter:



The bond between firefighters is known to be strong, but it Maplewood it seems to run particularly deep.
Case in point: Captain Joe Callaghan of the Maplewood Fire Department and retired Firefighter Greg Snell. Callaghan is a 20-year veteran of the force, a father of four and an unofficial press liaison for the department. Snell, forced to retire because of failing kidneys after more than 18 years of service, was a beloved member of the department. In November, Callaghan volunteered to give Snell a kidney.
