'Fearless' firefighter loved his sons
"My children go to the same school as these boys, they are friends with them, play sports on the same Bridgewater teams, and I watched them at my home this summer," Lee posted on the GoFundMe Page.
"As a parent, friend, and compassionate person, I want to help these young boys by reaching out to the community. Together we can help and be a glimmer of light after a tragedy."
McMorrow, who also worked with the Bradley Gardens Rescue Squad from 2003 to 2013, joined the Country Hills Volunteer Fire Department in December 2003. Condolences have been pouring out on the department's Facebook page.
