Almost four years into his career, Philadelphia Police Officer Ashley Hoggard got shot in the line of duty in 2009. Blood transfusions helped save his life.

“The night I got shot, I needed six pints of blood just to stay alive. It came from six different strangers. Six people that I never met. Six people that I can’t even say thank you to. They saved my life," he said.

Now Ashley donates regularly to give back and help others.

HOLIDAY SAFETY TIP: If you enjoy picking out a live Christmas tree, the most important rule is water, water, water. A dry tree can catch fire quickly and according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), electrical malfunctions and dried-out branches are top contributors to tree fires. Check the tree stand daily to make sure it’s filled and keep the tree far away from heat sources like fireplaces.

When shopping for an artificial tree look for a label that says “fire-retardant” and check the wiring before plugging anything in. If you notice frayed cords or a loose bulb, make sure to replace them.
