Coverage of Deaf Firefighter - Philly Area

Matt O'Brien, a young man who recently graduated from the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf recently joined his local Fire Department. There's been a good amount of coverage locally:

- Delco Times - 10/2/06 - Link

- WCAU / NBC10 - 10/3/06 - Link

The local news stations also covered his swearing-in ceremony today as well. I have encouraged them to post captioned versions on their websites and will update this entry with additional articles.

UPDATE: The video (sans captions) is now up on the website - http://cbs3.com/video/?id=31531@kyw.dayport.com

Congratulations and welcome to the brotherhood, Matt!
