Five Albuquerque Station Eight firefighters who won a $10,000 share of the Mega Millions jackpot last week have decided to donate an unspecified part of their winnings to fellow fireman Vince Cordova, who is suffering from a life-threatening tumor.
"We decided to get tickets ten minutes before the sales closed," said Capt. Jed Hyland told local news affiliate KOB. "I ran in shouting that we hit 5 of the 6 numbers."

Yes, I think there must be something about the psyche of those brave men who become firemen. I was right there ( in my close by classroom) when the towers fell & we all know how many of them were lost that terrible day. They are the best as far as I am concerned.
