🚒🔥⛑️Boston Fire Engine 52 and the Boston Fire Prevention Education Unit were proud to participate in the Annual Sickle Cell Walk at Franklin Park, joining resource tables and organizations from across the City of Boston.

Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells and can cause severe pain, anemia, organ complications, and other serious health challenges. It disproportionately affects people of African descent, though it can occur in people from many different backgrounds.

🔥 Boston Fire is proud to be part of the community—not only responding to emergencies, but also supporting education, awareness, and healthier neighborhoods. 🚒🔥⛑️

Thank you to everyone who came out, walked, shared resources, and supported this important cause. ❤️
