Friendly Firefighters

Allison Marois wanted to do something special for her retired-firefighter dad's birthday. Hoping to collect a firefighter t-shirt from each of the 50 states, the Iowa woman posted on TikTok asking for help.
- “He really is passionate being a firefighter," she told CNN. "That’s the one thing that he’s loved. If someone was born to do something, my dad was born to be a firefighter."
🚒 Firemen to the rescue... Allison's goal was to make the 50 T-shirts into a quilt for her dad. She only had around 10 states when she posted the video.
- Alison's video quickly racked up over 200,000 views, and soon enough, she was overwhelmed by responses from around the country – all willing to send in shirts from their local fire department.
👕 The result: Today, she's just seven states away from achieving her goal.
